Life is short... make good use of your time.

Jay got a call this weekend that one of his friends committed suicide. (You can read about it here - Building A Better Me) It was such a shock to us, obviously more to Jay than me, but a shock nonetheless. I think I probably only met Alonzo once in person, but I spoke to him on the phone several times. He was such a kind and gentle person with a generous heart. I'm so sad that things were so bad for him that he felt there was no hope.

Events like this really make me think about how precious life really is. We take so many things for granted, but there are no guarantees that things or people will be the same tomorrow. It's important to let the people you care about know that you love them and that they are valued and don't wait... tomorrow may really be too late.

In other, much lighter news... Kenna and Jake had their first basketball games this weekend. They both had fun, both teams won and Jake even scored a few points!
