So, a typical post from me would be about how it's a new semester or season. Today I'm not going to talk about that but instead of how this week has made me think of so many things.
Earlier this week at GV, a student passed away in the Rec Center while playing bball. I think the reports said he went into cardiac arrest. I could help but think about how hard that must have been for his parents to get a phone call like that. Not only because it was their son, and no one should ever have to burry their child, but because they couldn't be there with him. He was away at school, his parents probably thought he would be safe. They probably never imagine anything like this could or would have happened.
This made me think how the only person I've ever lost that I've been close to was my grandpa. I guess some days I don't know if I'm lucky I've never lost more than that or not. I mean I guess, what about when one day when the time comes, that I have to loose someone else. Maybe it will be very hard to handle. Who knows. I've been to a hand full of funerals in my life. The ones that have stayed in my head are my grandma's (I was 4 when she died, so I barley even remember that), my uncle Joe's (I was 15 going on 16 he died at the seen of a car accident), my cousin Adriana (She was in the same accident as my uncle Joe, she died a few weeks later. She was only 14), and lastly my Grandpas (I was 20 years old, I still remember very clearly the last I was able to talk to him.) It feels like there isn't one day I don't think about him even if it's only for 5 minutes, There is always something that puts him in my mind.
So then on top of all this, I was on my way home from school yesterday after Capoeira. Lake Mi. Dr was closed down. There had been a car accident involving three cars. One women was killed, another put in the hospital and the other was lucky enough to only slightly get hit.
And finally today, my mom tells me that my brother (who works on an oil rig) had an explosion at work today. She said the pressure underground was too built up and cause explosions like that all time. That was definitely not something I wanted to hear today.
Things like this just make living life a little scary sometimes. You really never know what God's plan is for you. You never know when your time is up. Always say good bye and I love you. It may be your last chance.
