You just never know....


I came to realize an old lesson this past week. A dear friend of mine, from the past, passed away on Thursday from a blood clot. He was just 42. I had not seen John in almost 12 years and ran into him just three weeks ago at the local farmer's market. He recognized me first and we greeted like old friends. He was excited to meet Mason and we chatted about old times and catching up on people we knew. As we parted, I made a promise to come see him and his band perform. Sadly, a promise I will not get to keep.
Over the weekend I have been thinking a lot about him and remembering times I had long since stored away. He touched the lives of so many and I am glad to have been one of them.
So, the old lesson is this....life is short. Unfortunately, every now and then we are reminded of this the hard way. I hope this post inspires you to do or say the thing you have been putting off. You might just be grateful that you did.
Rest In Peace, John.
