In a Flash

Just like that, life changes on a dime. In a tragic flash, a small child lost his dad, a woman lost her husband, and a father lost his young son. And our heart breaks for our friend. 

In a flash, the finality of unexpected death tears apart a close knit family. In a flash, dreams are shattered and a new, heartbreaking, reality becomes the norm. 

Why does it take tragedy to create perspective? Why is life so unfair and death so final? Why does tragic loss shake our faith, and make us question the divine? 

Tomorrow is never ever guaranteed. Make that call to a loved one, have that glass of wine, take that trip, and do the things that make you happy. It could all change in a flash.
