Give someone a hug today.
I lost someone very close to me when I was younger. My father's passing changed me, my habits and my priorities. I pay attention now, in fear that one day another loved one will pass without having the chance to take a picture, tell a story, or share my love.
A former co-worker of mine passed away this weekend. He was hit by an erratic driver and killed on impact. This man had a laugh that would boom into the ozone. His enjoyment was contagious and his sense of humor viral. He was loved, and will be missed.
My advice to all who read this, stop thinking your invincible, get your cholesterol checked, tell the people you love that you love them, and give out some sincere hugs.
My love to all,

*hugs* damn good and needed advice. i'm so sorry to hear of his untimely death. it puts things in even more perspective. life isn't 'fair', it's a gift with an unknown expiration date. enjoy it while you have it. i love you.

Sorry about your ex-co-worker. Do you think I can hug people I work with without getting fired? :-)
