Today I found out our close family friends (The Russell/Stuart family) lost their 3 year old little Grandson/son this morning to brain cancer. Last week I found out a guy (Ryan Hill ) that used to live in my ward growing up passed away while dirt biking. He left behind a wife and four children.
I have only met Rex a handful of times but I love his family. Rex fought courageously and touched so many people in his short three years. I haven't seen Ryan for years, but I remember him as a happy go lucky guy with no guile. From what I have read on facebook and heard he continued to be that way throughout this life.
I'm posting today not to be a downer, but to remember how fragile and precious life is. These things have made me think and ponder so much. There are things in life that are just more important than others. It is a waste of time to be offended and unkind. You can do so much good in the world if you choose to. I hope the effect these things are having on me at this moment create real change in my life and that I'm a better person because of these peoples example.
My heart and prayers go out to these families!
