I didn't really plan for my first official blog to be about death but here it goes! I got a phone call yesterday that my dear friend Telly had been shot and killed. The news hit me like a sharp machete slicing my heart to pieces. Death is just something so hard to grasp. It is hard for me to wrap my brain around it. The thought of never seeing or hearing from him again brought instant tears to my eyes. I know it's life but its definitely not an easy part of it. Telly was such a happy person, always offering a infectious smile and I will miss him forever. Many friends and family have reached out on his Facebook page to say incredible things about what type of person he was. What will people say about you or I when we die? Will they miss us? It has definitelty challenged me to love more people as he has. It has reminded me that death can call at anytime, and the people that mean most to me should know I love them. We casually mention to friends in passing about hanging out and never do. What if that person you are thinking about right now died suddenly? Send a text, mail a card, meet for coffee while you can!
