I believe that many of us very often take life for granted. Sadly it goes unappreciated or celebrated until someone we love leaves this mortal existance. I confess that I fall victim to this myself. A very dear and very loved friend just left the confines of this life. She departed from us in an unexpected manor. Leukemia claimed her mortal frame. The peace I feel though is based upon my faith that this life is merely the beginning. Sonya lived, loved and laughed more than many people that live to a ripe old age. She left us a few months short of 30. She will be sorely missed. Her genuine sweetness and compassion was without limit. The lives she's touched and blessed are countless. I know this to be fact because I live one such life. I will count myself blessed and fortunate to have had her for a friend and to have been someone she loved. She leaves a legacy of optimism and charity. She celebrated life and all of its ups and downs. May we all celebrate our own lives and do our absolute best to show others how much we love them. You never know when you won't be able to again. Celebrate the blessing that is this life.
