Fleeting tide

A dear friend of ours passed away this week. He was only 40 and he had a heart attack. He spent the day laughing and hanging out with dear friends, not aware that this would be his last day on our earth. It came as quite a shock to all of us when Fred died.

He is having a blast now, I am sure of that! He is with his God, free from all that hurts in this world!

As news of his death made its way across the states via Face Book, my heart was touched by the many, many posts left by people who adored him and who would miss him terribly. But as I read all the beautiful and sad sentiments, I began to wonder...was Fred aware just how loved he really was? Are any of us aware just how loved we are?

It shouldn't take a tragedy for us to remember each other. Our world has gotten too big...we can go months without stopping by to say 'hi', either via phone, text, Face Book, or the old fashioned way...in person. And I am the guiltiest of all! I'm not a phone person so I rarely call anyone.

Let's take the time in our busy schedule to connect with those we love. Let's take just a moment to recognize them...to let them know they crossed our minds...to let them know they are important to us. If this week has shown me anything, it has shown me that we truly do not know when this will be our last day. Or when it will be the last day for someone we love.
