Day 76 - Everyone is dying

I found out today that the father of one of my best high school friends died of Cancer this morning.  Another good friends father died a few weeks ago.  My uncle with Stage IV cancer could die at any moment.  Everytime my mom calls I wonder what the news will be.

Everyone is dying. 

My mother actually bought a funeral dress a couple of months ago because so many people she knows are sick.

Everyone who is living is dying.

It's part of the cycle.  A painful part.  And sometimes a welcome and painful part.

We are but a speck.

Why waste time being petty?

Why put things before people?

Why worry?

Why wait?

Why just live for yourself when you can live to serve others and affect as many lives as possible?

Why stay in your nice comfortable cozy box?

Why waste time on important stuff?

Why put off your dreams?

I'm dying.  But in the meantime I plan on living.
