Live Life Because Tomorrow Is Never Promised Today...

Last Thursday, 3 people I knew died. Of an aneurysm, a lung cancer and a car accident.

One of those deaths really affects me. The girl (she was only 25) that died of a brain aneurysm was 8 months pregnant and she was artificially kept alive a couple of hours and the doctors delivered her baby boy by c-section. He was alive and he was sent to a children hospital. But 2 days later, the baby died of complications. On the day of the dad's birthday. My words cannot express the grief that the husband must feel, he has lost his wife and their baby. It's so tragic and it really touches me. I can't believe that this is happening. Who could have known that this would be happening?

It makes me realize that you cannot tell what is going to happen tomorrow. 
You cannot plan everything. 

I'm planning on enjoying all the little things because we never know...
Never take life for granted because it can be taken from you at any given time...
We are only given the present day and are never promised tomorrow.

Please, enjoy life.

Almost a century old...

My boyfriend's grandmother passed away last night. She was 99 years old and 9 months... A venerable age! I have never had the chance to meet her, she lived far away...  But I heard stories about her and she was a great person. We were supposed to throw her a  big party for her 100 birthday on January 1st with all family's members but it won't happen... It was my boyfriend's last grandparent alive. 

He is sad and I can understand why. My boyfriend had to deal with death numerous times in his life, including his father's death when he was very young. I never had to deal with death... My four grandparents are still alive (85, 83, 83 and 76 years old!) and I have never lost a friend or other significant people. I know B will be ok soon, it's just a bad time for him and his family. Life will go on, but he will never forget her.
