LIFE

On my Friday night commute I passed a pretty bad accident which for some reason gave me chills as I drove by. I told Alan when I got home there was no way the driver got out alive. I was right....the next day on the news they covered the accident and the driver did die. When I got to work this morning one of the girls I work with (who I also happened to go to high school with) told me the driver of the car was a kid I actually grew up with. I haven't seen or talked to him since high school, but when someone you grew up with dies (and who is your same age), it truly makes you think. I got on facebook tonight to look at his profile and it turns out it's NOT the kid I went to high school with. They just happen to have the same name, are the same age and live not too far from one another. While I'm glad to know the kid I grew up with is okay, my heart goes out to the other family. They had two little girls, one of which was in the car during the accident. According to the newspaper she's fine, but it still gives me chills. I was talking to Alan the other day and told him that we REALLY need to get life insurance, just in case. This accident sort of hit home.....life is so precious and you never know when it might be your (or a loved ones) time to go. You can never take anything for granted and although times can be tough and life can seem so discouraging, there is so much we (and by that I mean me) are blessed with. For all my friends and loved ones out there, I love you. I should say it more often, but I have some of the bestest family and friends in the world. I also have (being a little biased here) the bestest husband in the world. Live life to the fullest and enjoy every minute of it. Time is a VERY precious thing. Love you all!
