A friend of mine always said this when you spoke to him and asked him how he was doing, even if you didn’t ask. He was consistent in that response. To paraphrase him, he said that was his touch stone to showing his gratitude. Gratitude is what makes everything work. It’s what we should use to live life. And then one day he was no longer above ground. It was so sudden. I spoke to him for the last time week before last Friday and he made me laugh so much on that morning. The following Wednesday I got a call that he had just dropped dead, literally. 😢. I was so I shock and in denial. Sigh.

The thing about it was he was one that made me really appreciate what I had and what I would receive. That was how he lived his life and we had so much in common. I gave him reading homework. There were books that I insisted that he should read and we would discuss and of course we discussed my blog. He never rushed as he said take it slow and a day at a time. He was in my life for a short time in the scheme of things but he had an impact. This is how you know some persons are part of you life for a reason and then they are gone but I never expected it to really happen like this.

We just never know what tomorrow will bring, so leave yesterday behind as it’s heavy, someone said that to me one day. Focus on what’s ahead. Focus on the good in your life. What is it that you really appreciate? Give that person a call that you have been meaning to call. Yes I know we can’t get to see everyone as was the norm but still reach out as you never know what might happen. Also that call might make the person’s day. We have to live our lives as if we might not see beyond today because we never know what tomorrow will bring.

Rest in peace my friend and even in death you showed me what it means to live and that is all is expected from us all.

I really want to know what you are thinking, and I know others do too. Try commenting 👍🏽, but if you are not comfortable, reach out to me via any medium.
