Fall Together

Change.
In one instant, before you even have time to process that something in your life has changed, its too late.
I don't think we will ever understand why things happen. There will never be a full explanation for changing the course of a persons life. We all live our day to day lives like we're going to be here tomorrow, and be the same person we are tomorrow as we are today. But sometimes, for these unknown reasons, that doesn't happen for everyone.
Its hard to know what you have until you see someone else lose everything.

A twenty five year old man walked into his indoor soccer game ( like he does every week) and left a paraplegic.

Just like that, this man's life is changed. At the peak of his youth he is no longer able to walk and confined to a wheelchair for the rest of his life. There was nothing he could have done to prevent what happened, it was an accident. There is nothing anyone could do to prepare themselves for a loss like that because no one expects it to happen to them. Thankfully he is still with us and this is a blessing in itself however, he has many obstacles he must overcome now that he would never imagine he would have to.
These challenges he will overcome with the support of his friends and family and the people that love him.

Life is short, and we don't know what it holds for us.
So act on your gut feelings
Say the things that are on your mind when they come to you
Feel emotion, let it in, and embrace it.
Do things for yourself and let someone be proud of you.
Mend broken relationships before its too late.
Tell the people you love, that you love them. Everyday.
And be thankful for what you have because you never know when you may not have it.
