Appreciate Life

Today we got a tough phone call. Jimmy's cousin, Roddy Johnson, had been taken to the ER in an ambulance and was unresponsive. Shortly after, Jimmy's dad let him know that Roddy had died. He was only 34 years old, and I just cannot imagine what his parents and sister are going through. It's just unimaginable. I do not know the exact cause of death, but my heart just aches for them. I hate that it takes such a tragedy to make me sit back and look at life this way, but it's just so uncertain. Who knows how long we have here? I really need to live each day as if it's my last. I really need to make the most of my day and my time with people I love.

I really need to appreciate life.
