As I was writing on my friend's facebook(who passed away last month at the age of 21) I was thinking about how, as friends, we don't think about others as much as when we do after they pass. Joe was like a brother to me and I loved him as such but I never thought about him everyday like I do since I learned of his passing. It just makes me think that I need to be a better friend to others on earth because you never know what happens tomorrow. I been in such a funk lately with stress, work, kids, ect that I just became distant towards everyone and it seems that people just want me to suck it up and get over it.
It doesn't work that way.
As humans, we all want support, we want love, we want acceptance and that is a few of the problems that Joe had and I wish that I could have helped him more. Too many people want to shrug off others issues because we all have our own issues.
I'm here to tell you that even though we all have our own dust to settle, we should also be friends. We should just have a random act of kindness daily. We should catch up on friends, see how they are doing, and see if we can help them or look to others to help them. We all can do more if we try.
I miss him everyday and think about him often...something that I should do for everyone in my life and not wait til they are gone to do it more.
