A Not So Pleasant Surprise

I'm pretty hard to surprise I think its because I'm so nosey. Now that I think about it I don't think anyone has actually ever tried.

But I recently had a surprise that wasn't a good one. I found out last week that the husband of my friend is dying of terminal cancer. He's 37 years old. They are active, healthy, they run marathons, live on the beach. She's a vegetarian. All of the things they say you're supposed to do to live a long and healthy life. I know my friend never thought that she could be a widow at 36.

Lesson Learned: Sometimes doing the right thing just isn't enough. Tomorrow is not promised. Live each day like its your last because it actually might be.

Life is so short that you have to live it as fully and honestly as you can while you are here. You can't wait for tomorrow when you still have a lot of today left.
