You never know when its going to be your turn.

Death, Why are we so afraid of you? we have a hard time accepting that one day, you will come for us. We do so many things to prevent you from coming for us. We eat healthy, we exercise, We go to doctors for regular checkups. I know that all of this means nothing and sooner or later it will mean nothing. We take all the measures we can but you proved to me the last two days that nothing is certain. You like to sneak up on us when we least expect it. You make us realize that we aren't invisible, even though we like to think we are. We come into this world helpless and we leave this life the exact same way. We are faced with challenges and set backs. We fall in love, we build a family, accomplish dreams and then one day its all over, Just like that with no warning what so ever. You were once living, now the soul goes to a place that we know very little about. The human body dies but the soul lives forever. The energy just transforms from one state into another. Two days ago death you almost took one of the most important people from me, My father. A person who is loved and respected by many. Why? I have no idea and I wont even begin to wrap my head around that one. Its above my pay grade to question things like that. One day you are living your life thinking nothing different. The next day you have death staring you right in the face. You never know when its going to happen. You say to yourself its not going to happen to me but when it does, it changes your outlook on life. It makes you take a step back and realize the important things in life. These "important" things are going to be different from one to another but they are the things that we hold close to our heart. Tell someone you love them, stop somewhere before you head home to work and bring flowers to your wife/husband. Watch the sunrise on a beach. Dance like you dont care and live life to the fullest. Accomplish that dream you have always wanted to do. Have faith, believe in God. He will protect you and he will take you at his will when its your turn. We want to be remembered by the good things we do in life for each other, none of the bad but sometimes we only remember the bad. Forgiveness is never easy and it takes a lot of courage to do so. Forgive someone who did you wrong. Forgive someone for treating you a way they shouldnt of. There is no point in having any anger in life. Anger is a double edge sword. It hurts both people. You never really know when its going to be your turn. I've learned that life is way to short. Treat everyone how you wanted to be treated and hope they will do the same. Its too short to be pissed off at someone. We go through life holding grudges against people and then get that phone call that's too late. I know I don't want to receive that phone call.


I leave you with a prayer.

Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name.
Thy Kingdom come,
thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,

the power and the glory,

for ever and ever.

Amen.
