Life is Short

Just yesterday I learned through Facebook that the Student body president of my high school class was hit by a drunk driver when he was cycling to work.  He was hospitalized but after no brain activity in 24 hrs., they took him off life support and that was it.  He left a wife and 3 young boys.  Very very sad.  He was a great person, very personable and outgoing and just nice, more so than most people ever become, and he was that way when I knew him in high school.  It is a shock when someone you know or knew is fine one day and just gone the next at a youngish age with no advanced notice or warning like a terminal illness.  It is a reminder to live each day to its fullest and make sure your loved ones know you care.  This life is just so fragile.
