Surrounded by Death

This summer i myself and many of my friends have just been surrounded with (what we would call) tragic deaths so i thought i would post one of my personal journal entries here for you guys.

Surrounded by death i see the changes in the lives of us who remain. Some desperately cling onto who they were in an attempt to continue to hold onto what they know as "normal." And who can blame them? Others try to push away who they were before there loss. In the end change is unavoidable and it seems to always hurt. The thought of never looking these people i the eyes again and the pain we see every time we look into their families eyes. My fear of death is becoming to haunting coming closer and closer. Its not that i am afraid of what will happen after i die...I WILL BE IN GLORY...but the effects that death has on people at times hurts my soul. With vigor i want to make every day count. When i die i want people to say the same things about me that were said at David Gilbert's and JoAnna Godman's funerals. To make a difference in people we have to start now today because tomorrow is just a concept a distant possibility that we hold to much stock in. To make a difference tomorrow you must begin with making a difference today.

For: David, JoAnna, Gary, J.S., Christen, Tohmas and all of their friends and families
