Life is Precious

[ks8829]

I wanted share this story that happen a couple of days ago with you. A lady that I know was going downstair to the basement and fell and hit her head, she was rush to the hospital in the ambulance, the doctor tried their best but was unable to revive her. She's 51 year old and in good health she has a 22 year old son who just graduated from college and started a new job in the east coast. He rushed out to see his mom for the last time before they sadly decided to let her go............ she pasted away just yesterday.

Life is precious and you never know what can happen to you or a love one, so live life as those it might be your last day...........and remember to tell and show your family and friends that you love them.

An old family friend died recently right before he turned 18. No reason, his heart just stopped and he never woke up. That was an eye opener for me.

"I do not intend to tiptoe through life only to arrive safely at death."

When i was a kid, (well, probobly 7 or so..) i watched a man get run over by a steam roller (the things they pave the street with) that always stuck with me.

also had a friend down a bottle of some pill at lunch the other day, because he found out his girlfriend was pregnant.


Also knew a guy (through a friends frriend type of deal) who attempted to commit suicide with a .45.. problem is the 45 isnt the fastest catridge out there, put it under his chin, boom, lodged under his skull. he lived.


Odd stuff.

It is so true.

A few years ago I emigrated from the UK to the US to live with my 23yr old girlfriend, now wife. 10 days after moving she was hit by a box truck that jumped the wall on the interstate. For a week we didn't know whether she was going to live or die. She did make a miraculous recovery and I'm grateful for everyday we share together. We grab life by horns and travel as much as we can now. It is one of our passions but sometime my wife's parents question our decisions. Earlier in the year we did a round the world for just over two months, when my wife's parents asked we told them that we never know when you're going to get hit by a truck My dad's father died in his early 40s from a heart attack and he was an extremely healthy guy. When these kinds of things happen it is a real shake to the system and you get your priorities in order.

My Dad went to work on a saturday like he had a million other days, only this time he never came home. There was an accident. We all were floored.
Enjoy life and tell your loved ones how much you love them. I never leave without kissing them.

Her funeral was last Wednesday, her 22 year old son was at the front door greeting everyone. She donated her organs to 6 people who's lives shes touched.

Can't agree more with you guys. It's hard because we get so caught up in things and as humans, start to take certain things for granted.

My wife and I are 30 and our first child, Christian, died after 6 days. He came out with conjoined legs, wrapped hands, no eyelids and a cleft. We had no clue and only found out about his condition right when he came out. It was the biggest nightmare in the world seeing your child have to suffer. He's definitely our angel and has appeared to us in so many different ways.

1) We launched online our company, on the 8th of April at 8pm, 2008. This was also his birthday anniversary and we even chose our company logo as a monarch butterfly (logo on our site so you can see, not meant to spam: www.ladolceliving.com ). 3 hours before the 13th, his death anniversary, a monarch butterfly entered our house, at night time, only to land on each of us. All the kids, my dad, wife and I were able to pet the butterfly for a long time as it went on each of us.

2) I had my hole in one on the 8 of November, 13th hole. Christian was born on the 8th and died on the 13th.

3) Right after he passed, I would ask him to show himself to me in some way and I got passed by tons of monarch butterflies.

It's hard to loose someone and our son never had a chance really at life. We went on to have 2 beautiful girls (2 & 3 years old).

My lesson to share: Don't take life or the ones you love for granted
