About a week ago one of my childhood friends died in Afghanistan defending the
USA. I had not spoken to him in years, but I still cried when I heard the news.
It really made me think about how many people come through our lives that have
an impact on us in both great and small ways. I hadn't thought about him in a
while, but the moment I got the news I could remember his face, and his
personality. It made me so sad to know that someone as kind and fun as him would
no longer be walking around. It also made me feel a great sadness to know that
it took something so tragic to force me to take that walk down memory lane.
Sometimes we are so focused on the here and now that we don't enjoy some of the
wonderful memories that helped shape who we are now. I encourage everyone to
remember the good times because they may not last forever.
