Today I got some sad news from a friend of mine. His mum had passed away quite suddenly. Losing a loved one is hard and my heart goes out to him.
It brought back memories from times I’ve spent together with both him and his mum, and I just want to give him the biggest hug.
Writing this makes me think of all the people that have been part of my life. They have been in my life for a lifetime or a moment (and everything in between). And one way or another they have all been important.
Some have come quickly and left just as quickly, but even so, they’ve made an impression. Some have stayed awhile and left footprints all over my heart, and some have changed my life forever.
Some I’ve tolerated and some I have liked. Some I have loved lightly and some I have loved deeply. And in the midst of all this we have all been in each other life’s for a reason. To teach, challenge or love each other.
What happened today, reminds me that life is short. And we should all embrace the people that comes into our life. If they are here for a reason, a season or a lifetime!
RIP.

I’m so sorry for you and your friends loss! You are exactly right though, life can be short so we need to appreciate every minute.

Thank you, but it’s my friend who is hurting, he was really close to his mum. I was just lucky to get to meet his mum a few times, years ago. It still makes you reflect though over how precious life is.
I’ll let him know there are people out there that feels with him, thank you.
