Life is a funny thing, it takes and it gives without any requests, thoughts, or considerations. Hearing that a friend's mother passed away last night reminded me again of my grandfather. I thought I had no more tears to shed after that, but I found myself unable to sleep for hours with water freely flowing from my eyes. It's never an easy thing to see a loved one disappear from our lives, leaving only memories, pictures, and broken hearts in their wake, but that is the way of life. So with that I say hold your loved ones close and tell them/show them how much they mean to you each day, because you never know what the future holds. I'm not sure I have more words to say, just a fairly sobering sort of day.
