Reminded about how short life is
My mom and I were chatting yesterday and she informed me that two husbands, members of her LDS church ward, were killed this week. One of them drowned in a boating accident and the other, a father of three girls ages 8 to 14 was hit while riding his motorcycle.
I taught the oldest daughter of the latter in Sunday school when she was 4 years old. And I was friends with the the younger brother of the former as a teen. I’m so terribly saddened by this news. And what a loss for all the member of my mothers ward family and for their personal families.
Sometimes I feel like procrastinating on self improvement, reading my scriptures, spending more time with my family, etc. because I figure another day will always come. But what if it doesn’t? Am I ready if it doesn’t?

Oh no… I’m so sorry…
It is hard to think about the “what if’s” - which is why I try not to. I know I don’t live every day to the fullest, but it’s a reminder that we should try…

I think it’s good to “love one another” so that moments like this hit us harder, and help us want to be better. It’s a beautiful aspect of life that from great sorrow can come hope and the desire to strive.

Wow. You can add to that a member of the Stake Presidency in my parents’ home Stake that died just 2 days ago. A heart attack, apparently. And it’s really affecting my dad quite a bit because he is also a counselor and worked quite close with him. :(
All of these are such sudden and tragic ends to lives. You’re right, what if another day doesn’t come? Why do I procrastinate doing good things I know are worth doing?

So true Summer…I think I need to stop procrastinating doing better at some things myself.

Oh no. I only heard about one of these and now my mind is swirling about who the other is. I’m so sad :(

Oh Summer, I’m so sorry. I know this doesn’t even come close to comparing - but I think it’s one reason why our kitten tragedy this week has been so hard for me to deal with. In just literally seconds, things had changed so much - and can never be undone. To think that something - anything- could happen so very quickly to me, Ron, or one of the kids terrifies the heck out of me. :(
