my 23 year old's best friend's mom died today. suddenly. unexpectedly. she drowned. i follow her facebook page. she is...was.....so fun loving. a smile. a cheerful heart. photos of soaking in and enjoying life with her husband and kids. and i have bawled. my heart breaks for that young man. his mama was his anchor..his port.
his biological dad died when he was only in high school. now, at the age of 23 he has lost both parents. he has a step dad that adores him. he has sisters. but he and his mom..they were close.
and it got me thinking about how driven i am to make the memories. to take the time. to spend on a trip when really, not going could mean more money for other things.
but the memories. the time. the time away. together. with friends. with family. it's worth it. because you never know. ever.
and taking time out. taking time away. it's necessary.
