Don't know what u got til it's gone...

A few days ago an old friend of mine's husband fell off a 40 story building while doing construction and died. He was 33 years old, and had two daughters under 9. My friend, who is 31, is now a widow. She also got laid off in January and does not have a job. You just never know when it is time to go.... OUr neighbor and Jarrod's best friend is very sick, because he drinks too much and has other health problems... And what makes it more sad is that he is 34 years old, and in the past 3 weeks has decided to get baptised and is updating his life insurance policy. He just seems too young to be preparing to leave this world. Jarrod and I think we don't need insurance because we are young. We think its not time to save money yet. Those are bad decisions, but we rarely get mad at eachother. We enjoy pretty much all day every day with eachother. We talk on the phone a lot and try to make a point to pay attention to each other. It has been thrown in our face lately how precious life really is. Although you hear it all the time, this moment could be the last, this could be your last night of pizza and movies in your pjamas w/ the one you love. You just never know...
