Sadness

Yesterday was a very sad day for us. Beverly Domenick, mother of Michael Domenick (my sister Catharine's husband) died from Acute Leukemia. She was only 59 years old. I was not expecting it. I was not that close as she was my sister's mother-in-law but the times I met her she was kind. A good heart. It has saddened me and has confirmed my belief once again that life is a gift that we have been given (by God, by Allah, by the Big-Bang who knows) and it is our responsibility to live it. For what I believe we have only one life and a short one at that and who knows when our last day might be - so we must celebrate every day that we are granted and live it to the fullest. Tell the people near to you how much you care about them. Give your child a hug and kiss and let them know that they are precious to you. Don't hold back in love- invest everything in it because these are the things that really matter. Make the choice to be happy and make others happy. Smile, laugh, and enjoy every breath that you have. This is my choice and I hope it is yours.
