No matter how long you know someone for, or where you met or how often you talk.. When they pass away it is always hard. Its hard to think that their family is grieving and know they won't see this person again for a long time. This person that has been in their life forever, who they could talk to whenever they wanted to.. they cant do that anymore. Its hard to think that just yesterday they were here and now they are not. Today I found out that a kid I knew passed away last night. He was one of the funniest kids who was always so caring to those around him... Life is something so strange. We are all here but we are all going to die at some point. There is nothing we can do about it. Death is a very scary thing to some people, me included. What makes it so scary? Knowing we are leaving our loved ones behind? or the unknown? Either way with the church in our lives we know we are going to be okay. Tell the people around you that you love them. Even if your mad at your spouse, brother, sister, parents or friends. It may be the last time you see them. So love them, and love them always. No matter the situations you may be in. Because one day, they may not be there for you to tell them you love them.
To fear death, my friends, is only to think ourselves wise, without being wise: for it is to think that we know what we do not know. For anything that men can tell, death may the greatest good that can happen to them: but they fear it as if they knew quite well that it was the greatest of evils. And what is this but that shameful ignorance of thinking that we know what we do not know?
