Life is short

I have some fun projects to chat about, but honestly, the last couple of days I have spent thinking about how short life can be. Sunday evening my husband's Uncle was killed in a motorcycle crash. His Aunt is in the hospital still. I hope she will be alright. I think about this relatively young person (just 55), and all the things he had left to do in his life. His only grandchild just 4 years old, with a sibling on the way that he'll never meet. His wife of  33 years, now left to forge ahead by herself. Just in this last week or 10 days, there have been 8 other high profile deaths on our interstates. It's hard to imagine how life goes on. Having recently lost my cat and best buddy of 15 years, it's so hard to imagine the magnitude of pain I will feel when my parents, or heaven forbid husband or children die before me. Thinking of it now brings tears to my eyes. So, I hope everyone is sure to give their families an extra hug and kiss and remember to say 'I love you'. A small, but simple thing will make a world of difference. And please remember not to drink and drive. The above mentioned uncle's life was cut short due to the carelessness of a woman that chose to drink and then get in her car.
