The death of a dear friend makes everyone stop and think.

My dad recently attended a college friend’s funeral. He sent me an email shortly after explaining his own sentiments on the brevity of life. He wants to spend time with me as soon as possible.

I’m always down.

It made me think too. My mom knew this college friend as well.

Death can tear people apart or bring people together. I am sorry that my parents lost a friend from their past. I’ll pray for Bobby’s family. It must be so difficult to lose a father and a son. He was just 52. Cancer.

My dad’s email made me think about my family. I thought about my friends, past and present.

If you’ve wronged someone, apologize. We are not promised tomorrow. I’m grateful for another day to live, Lord. I take my days for granted way too often. Help me remember to live each day for You. To live that sold out life you’ve called me to. To love You with all that I am. To love people selflessly.
