Recently there has been more death in my family over the past year than I have experienced throughout my life at any one time. So much so that I get up every morning praying "Not Today Lord, please don't take anyone else today. Can I please have this day free from pain and grief?" Each day where nobody else dies is a good day. I never thought I would count the days as I have come to do it now, but somewhere along the way things changed.
The life that I have been living doesn't seem so important anymore and the things that I held most dear are now lost to me. Each person's life is precious and should be respected as such.
During a tragedy you see the true nature of people and it can be life changing and eye opening for those around them seeing this side of a person for the first time. Family and friends behave differently and things that you didn't see or understand become clear. Now that the year and hopefully all the death is behind me, (at least for a while). I am looking forward to the year 2017.
Each day with the ones we love is a gift. Cherish your own life and theirs.
