As college students, we tend to spend too much time thinking about what is happening in the here and now. Life is too good to have anything go wrong. We are too busy concentrating on finding a career, finding a mate and making the most of our college days. These are the trivial aspects of life. Too often we let these small details blind us to what is really important in life.
Death is something final.
When we lose someone we love, we grieve because we will miss their presence in our lives and everything they have done for us. So, I'm taking advantage of this time I have and asking you to do the same. Let your mom and dad know you love them. Don't let another day go by without expressing your true feelings in a few words over the phone or jotted down in a letter. It might seem weird or sappy, but it can make a world of difference.
