cherish your mom

Thursday afternoon I got a call that my friend's mom had passed away from liver cancer.

Through the extremely sad, but at moments celebratory of her life, funeral, I couldn't help but look around at all of our wonderful friends that taken off work and time out of their busy lives to come and support a grieving friend.

Most importantly, this tragic event forced me to reflect on how unpredictable life is and how lucky I am to have my mother alive, well, and and such a staple in my life.

It's depressing how it can sometimes take something so sad to remind you to be grateful for your loved ones and to never take a day, or even a moment with them, for granted.

And next time your mom calls, or wants to get together, do it. Be thankful that you still have that option.
