Life is short; don’t waste it
Almost 22 years ago, 50 unique, individual and yet forever-bonded souls participated in one official last act as the sum of a whole.
When we graduated from Lookout Valley High School in June 1995, most of us had known each other from the ages of day care. It seems like only a brief amount of time has passed, even though we are now screaming literally, into our 40s. We always felt invincible. Powerful. Even with our differences, we somehow were a mostly cohesive bunch. We were there for each other. Life happened to us all. Good and bad. We still know we can call on one another.
We have started to experience loss. Our invincibility was an illusion. We have lost another dear friend. She was selfless, that even in loss, as an organ donor.She not only will live on in our memories, but her gifts of life will help others live.
Please make time to reach out to those you love. Mend a misunderstanding or right a wrong. If you want to talk to an old friend, do it now. Help others when and where you can.
