Yesterday I went to check on a good friend because I hadn’t heard from him. I let myself in to his house and he wasn’t on the sofa. I felt encouraged because that was his normal resting place. I walked into his kitchen and found him dead on the floor.

God knows how many days we have on this planet. We don’t have that luxury. But we are inspired to make the most of the time we are here. I don’t always do that, but I keep trying.

My friend had a history of bad health which he was working to improve on. I’m at peace with his passing away. He did live a good life, and was a blessing to many. He will be missed, and he will be remembered.

Live fully, everyone. Don’t waste the dawn…
