Life is a never ending journey

well i talked to my dad tonight. its been awhile since i have been able to talk to him so it was good to be able to do that. but my dad told me that my grandmothers second husband bud died 2 weeks ago saturday. the funeral was wednesday and then my cousin wedding was this past saturday. you really dont know what you have until you lost it. i have had to come to terms of that many times over. it got me thinking even more about how short life really is. its scary. i mean my parents arent that old but they are getting older and i just dont know what i would do without them. or patrick at that. i mean goodness people of all ages have been dying all over the world and nothing but grief comes out of it. i know there is life beyond the grave and i truely understand that but what i dont understand is why take them so young or make them go through the pain they have to. its scary of all the ways people can die. i know i know. this is not the brightest subject and shouldnt be talking about it. but death makes everyone think. death makes people see what GOOD things they have in their life. always tell people how much you care no matter what. you will never know if you will wake up the next day or the people you love. its really scary. i have been though some deaths in my life time and i still dont understand it or want to understand it but i do know that you shouldnt take life for granted. the one day you do is the day that you will regret. forgive and forget is always the best key. you might see someone that you are so mad at that you promise yourself that you will never want anything to do with them ever again but sometimes forgiving them makes your life easier. i know i am a bad person for this but you only have one family and once you lose that you lose everything. even if they are not blood family they are still family. i just had to say that. also i ask for everyone to continue to pray for both sides of my family. i know they all need it right now. my God watch over and protect them in this time of grieving to everyone and any one.
