Humans are so finite, as long as a lifetime sounds. We come and go as cells, one person dies, another is born, the world keeps turning and the clock keeps ticking. You pause to remember those who have left you, those that cannot return, your dearest memories made with loved ones claimed by death. It’s something sad, but at the same time it’s humbling. Of course we care more for the ones we knew personally, but I feel for anyone that had to go through a loss or is still going through a loss. I am so sincerely sorry anyone has to feel like that, yet it’s something almost everyone has to experience, often multiple times. I will never forget that throat-closing feeling as the heart sinks into the stomach, I’ll never forget being unable to eat for days, crying helplessly with everyone else at the funeral home..

Please don’t ever take someone for granted. As humans we are all perishable, love the people left in your life, cherish them, make as many memories as you can while you still have time.
