Hard Week behind us
Well, down under has been a little hard this week. On Tuesday, my family found out that my step brother Jared has died. It's a long complicated story leading up to his death, but it's a really sad reality. I wish I'd been able to spend just a little more time with him. But, it has made me think about death and what an interesting thing it is. One day, someone is living and breathing, and then in just an instance, their life could end. Life is so fragile and I'm grateful to be reminded of this. We are all here on this earth living our life and taking chances every day. We have been given a body that is ours to take care of. I'm so grateful for my life, and my body and I hope that I don't waste any time while I'm here on earth. I want to fill it up with things that are important and I DON"t want to spend anytime wasted being mad at anyone, or holding grudges with ANYONE. Life is too precious and I want everyone to think about the people in their lives and tell them all that you love them. Forgive them if you're mad at them, and do your best to just love those around you, no matter what. Because you never know what tomorrow will bring. We will miss you Jared. Love you.
