Life is Fragile

Life is more fragile than we think.  In our younger days, we believe ourselves to be immortal; we look to our grandparents as being in an ancient world, relics.  We even consider our parents to be over the hill.

In our teenage years, we could for the life of us, fathom why our parents were so stubborn or so stupid not to understands the things that we were going through.  We thought of them as old-fashioned.

Then came a time when we experienced the loss of a friend, a family member, cut down before he or she reached the age of antiquity.  Then we realize the life is fragile, life is temporary, life is not to be taken for granted.

These past couple of weeks, no matter how close or how far we are from the MH370 incident, we are once again reminded of the frailty of our lives.

Before you turn in tonight, say a prayer for someone dear.  Call them tomorrow.  Better still, visit them.
