Yesterday I found out that a good friend of the family is in
UCD Burn Center with 2nd and 3rd degree burns on 90% of
his body. This happened 2 weeks
ago. He was working in his shop when
something went horribly wrong and he was on fire then thrown in the river to
extinguish the flames. He’s lucky to be
alive and his head was the part not burnt.
After hearing this last night I was numb. It really puts things in perspective as to
how precious life really is. Although he
is a very strong person and I have no doubt that he will pull through this
while keeping his witty humor. It’s
still going to be a long painful road ahead of him. He has a lot of friends and family that care
deeply about him and he will need this support while he does what he needs to
do.
All of your problems and mine seem really trivial compared
to what lays ahead for my friend. So grab
your loved ones, hold them tight and tell them how you much you love them. They might not be here tomorrow. You don’t want to carry regrets of whatever
the last thing you said to them was unless it was something positive. I know too many people that wish they can
take back those last spoken words and say something different.
