You dont know what you have until its gone. This saying is so true. Recently, I lost a classmate due to a sudden unknown illness. I didnt know what to do or how to handdle the situation. I was more emotional than usual. I thought part of my world had ended. I am losing my grandfather to Acute Myeloid Leukimia. Im not sure what that will be like. But instead of looking at everything I dont have, I try to look at what I do have right here and now. I still have my grandfather. I still have a house to live in. I have food to eat. I have an education. And most important, I still have a family for eternity, even after either they or I die. So be thankfull for what you have, because what you have, some people wont be as fortunate as you. It still hurts to me knowing that a peer has passed on, but its not the end. It is mearly the begining. I will see him again someday. Until then, all the pain that will slow me down, I just push away temperarily. If you loose sommething or someone, dont let your hurt feelings slow you down. Use them to your advantage! Use them as building blocks to help make life happier!
