Some really horrible news.
Today I found out that a good friend just passed away. He was in his mid 30s and in the prime of life. I've been playing hockey with him for over 10 years now. You build a different relationship with someone when you see them once or twice a week to play hockey, drink beers and chirp each other. But in times like this everything changes.
I really want to say I do not want to monetize this. I'd like it up voted for people to see without the money aspect as this is way beyond that.
What I really want to say is GO RIGHT NOW . Right now and hug your lover. Hug them as tight as you can. Call your mom and dad and tell her you love them. Same with your siblings and best friends. That friend who you have not spoken to in a long time , call them . That argument you were in , let it go .
That piece of cake you didn't want to eat... Eat it. Enjoy and savor it. That thing you wanted to do. DO IT . Cheers that glass of wine, fill your cup with beer. We have no clue when our time is up.
I can only guess what unfulfilled dreams he had. That place he saw in a magazine that captured his imagination. The restaurant he always wanted to visit. Even the want to have a little one of his own .
So I ask you to do all these things, laugh and love and experience life to the fullest. Do them for you and do them for the ones who never got the chance. Cause as humans we all travel this path and by doing this we can make even the short time that some people have on this planet as full as the ones who grow old.
We owe everyone this.
Miss you Benny .
