when my friend eileen told me i needed to meet her sister because the two of us were into "fashion" and kind of liked the same things...i never expected to meet a more vibrant & beautiful woman...who had such a zest for life...she traveled the world...and in those travels brought back beautiful baubles...we met several times after that first introduction...who would have thought that in less then a year...she would be gone...with two people passing away this last weekend...both so young...unfortunately...as i was talking to my business partner & friend today...we talked about how it is in death that we realize how life can be snatched so quickly...and how it is a reminder...to not take it for granted...or those in our lives...
in kate's short life...she lived every day to the fullest...you just knew that about her...but who was to know...that after a trip in buenos aires with her mother...upon her return...she would be found dead the next morning...i am angry that life was taken from her...i am angry of the violence in our world...
i am also reminded...that we are not promised tomorrow...and that some of the things we so focus on...stupid mis-understandings...long lines...little annoyances...in the big picture...are just so not important...
live your life to the fullest...hug your loved ones...tell them you love them...each and every chance you get...
