It's never easy - the loss of a loved one.

I thought I was having a difficult time 2-3+ weeks ago with things that seem so trivial right now. On Monday, February 18, 2013 I lost my precious cousin to a horrid car accident. She and I were never close but whenever I did see her she always made me smile and laugh like she did with everyone. She had a glow about her. I wish I had gotten to see her more often and gotten to know her better. I miss her. 
I'm sharing this because I want to remind people how fragile life is and how fast it can change. I woke up Monday morning feeling great and ready to take on the world but then everything crumbled to pieces with a single phone call. Please don't forget to tell your loved ones how much you love them. Make sure you hug them and kiss them. 
Everyone, please drive safely, especially on snowy and icy roads. Don't rush. Is your life worth risking to get to work a second sooner? Stay safe. Thank-you.
