Today as I was getting ready to walk into the grocery store when a close friend called to tell me that her cousin (someone we both grew up with) had died. It saddened me to know that yet another person that I knew had passed away. At the age of thirty-one, I know WAY too many people that have died young. I guess that explains why I try to live my life to the fullest and experience as much as I can day by day. I hope to live a long full life with as many experiences as I can, so that someday I can tell my grandchildren stories and none of them will be lame "when I was your age, I walked ten miles to school and back, uphill both ways!" stories. I want to be able to tell stories about far off places and a million faces, about love and yes loss and most of all about adventure and taking the chances and opportunities that life offers you. I hope that someday when my time does come, that I have lived a full life and made a difference in many others. I live each day hoping that in some small way I am able to touch others lives in a positive way. My hope is that for each good deed that I do for someone, that they remember and instead of trying to pay me back, pays it forward. My hope is that when I am gone that I am never forgotten.
My Prayers go out to Sheila Winslow and her family, may the lord watch over her daughter and be present with her family as they mourn her passing. Sheila, if your out there know that although you have gone from us, you will never be forgotten. Each of us will remember our part of your story and through us your memory will live on, I pray that you rest in peace.
Love to you all,
~MJ~
