Family first

I had a very difficult week. We had to bury a young man, a nephew of ours.He was only thirty years old. Life can blind side you in a moment like this. We all live like we are invincible and in a way this is the only way we can. The other side of the coin would be so afraid of dyeing that we never do anything. Once again balance has to be found to keep life livable . Living in the moment is so very hard to do and yet makes so much sense, savoring every moment of every day because it could indeed be our last. My mission statement for my life has always been "family comes first" I feel like I let this young man down because I didn't keep in touch with him and never knew what he was up to or if he was happy ... it's a hard lesson to learn and I will strive to not let it happen again.
Rest in peace Lanny...
