Life is fragile
I am learning
To be aware
Even more
Of what I
Can lose
By one look
One word
All that I
Thought can
Disappear
Into the black skies
I am learning
To appreciate
Even more
Than what I
Did before
The gifts of
Friendship
The life I live
For I know
That in a
Blink of an eye
It can all
Be taken away.

Powerful words, and so true!! In the blink of an eye, my wife’s brother died of a massive heart attack on this Thursday… He was only 48. He leaves a dedicated wife, and two kids, 11&8. Hold tight to your loved ones!!!

I cling like I am Tarzan on a vine to what ever we have remaining. It sounds sort of silly but I can’t help it. He is all I have left and I don’t want to let go, but I am working real hard at accepting what is going to come
