Final Moments

On Tuesday night I received a call to let me know a dear person who I used to work with had died, from a very short battle with cancer. Yep he only found out not to long before Christmas, and it started with a cough, just a simple little cough, that wouldn't go away. My heart immediately went out to the family for their sudden and sad loss. Ray you were a husband, a father, a grandfather, a son, a brother, a cousin, a uncle. Most of all you were a great friend a wonderful person with a great sense of humor, a gentle and caring soul. Ray, you will truly be missed by so many, however you will always be remembered for what you gave.
It really amazes me that there are so many people out there that are struggling to hold on to their life, to their last breath, to the ones they cherish, they have so much strength and courage. Than their are people that just hold on to the small and insurmountable things that at the end of the day, really don't matter really are uninportant and yet they feel the need to squabble and fight over those things. It is at times like this, that always makes us reflect on life, what is important to us, to our families and our friends, what makes us happy and the people around us happy. Take the time to say I love you............its important, and don't worry about the little things. Life is way to short.
