Carpe Diem

Just a brief reminder to live each day to the fullest, for we never know what's around the corner... My brother is back in hospital, with infection in his foot. We are worried, and hope and pray that this does not lead to further complications. Everything was going so well... Please remember him in your prayers...
I lost another friend to cancer today. A family man, in the prime of his life, only 48. He leaves behind a young wife and 2 children, ages 15 and 19. Dana was a great guy, a salt of the earth type. A real family man, a hard worker, active in his church and community.... He will be missed by many. Life just isn't fair sometimes.
Don't be afraid to say "I love you" to those who matter in your life...

Peace,
Linda
