Death

Death has a funny way of coming around when we are least expecting it. It just shows up unannounced and snacks you in the face. 

It also has a funny way of resetting things. 

I recently had a uncle pass away and he was relatively young (under 50), and it was a big surprise to me. He was a young happy go-lucky guy. He was always smiling and I remember him always making me smile. 

I say that death has a funny way of resetting things because before I found out he had passed, I was worried about little, everyday tasks. Like getting my homework done, getting to class on time, making sure I had enough gas, just little stupid things that in the grand scheme of things don’t really matter. 

It makes you think about your life and makes you really think about what matters. It makes you want to put your loves ones first and spend more time with them. It makes you think that the stupid little things don’t matter. 

Remember not to take anything too seriously. Make sure to make time for your loved ones and tell them how much they mean to you.
