“Here’s the thing…”

 “The great unknown, and mystery of death has a deep impact on our human inclination towards reflection and realizations of the deeper purposes of life. Especially the moments immediately following hearing the news. One of the greatest testaments of our compassion as loving human beings is the good thoughts of what the essence of that person’t true being really is. If you’re having trouble doing that, think of them as a child. No matter what the world has turned a person into, the pureness of what they were as a hopeful, innocent, trusting child floods back to you through your heart, and not so much your rational mind. And that is a good thing. It makes you realize what really matters. And that’s pure love. Unfortunately it tends to be a temporary sentiment. My goal is to strive to love those I can still interact with in the very manner I wish I would have before it’s too late. I hate saying ‘If only…’ With assistance applying that attitude, I will surely look up and rely on our creator for much needed help and guidance. For without Him I would certainly be lost. If you’re reading this, I love you very much.”
