Today is February 24, 2006. I consider my self to be five years old today.
Five years ago today a traumatic event occurred in my life. This event has completely changed my life in every way imaginable. Its as if my eyes had been closed, to this beautiful world, for the first 26 years of my life..
A very dear friend of mine was brutally murdered on February 24, 2001. I havent mourned his death in several years, however, the sense of appreciation I feel over the sheer fact that he was in my life, and how he affected me, is overwhelming at times.
One of the most important lessons I learned from having him ripped out of my life so violently and unexpected, is gratitude. Mainly gratitude for the people I choose to surround myself with.
Theres something powerful about being truly grateful for the friends and family I do have who are good my overall well being; and making sure they know how sincerely thankful I am that they are a part of my life. You are all making me a better person.
My lessons where harsh and painful, but there isnt a day that goes by where I dont make sure at least one close person in my life knows how important they are to me and that I appreciate the effect theyve had in my life.
I cant believe its been five years.
I think Ill call my dad today
