life can be gone in a minute...

okay...so if there is really one thing I have learned over the last 6 months is that. That life can be gone in a minute. It started on May 22nd, when I found out that Maria Sue Chapman, the 5 year old adapted daughter of christian music star Steven Curtis Chapman(SCC), died in a accident with the SUV that her brother was driving. I had grown up on SCC music my whole life so it did affect me...cause his music had touched my life. I was actually at his first show back on July 11th at Lifest. I know it was hard for him and his whole band, which included both of his sons, Caleb and Will. He hadn't planned to sing Cinderella, the song he wrote for her and her 3 sisters, but he did with a little surprise ending. He actually ended early, which I wouldn't have even known...cause we had a really bad storm coming our way.
2 weeks after that I found out that one of my friends has eye cancer. He is like best friends and a big brother to a lot of my friends and me and my brother. He is still really sick but is taking it easy and relaxing and playing a few shows with his band.
Then a couple weeks ago 2 of my friends were involved in a car accident that killed two of their friends. yeah...I don't wanna talk about that though...
It just proves that you shouldn't take anything for granted. Love when you don't mean to and tell the people you love that you love them. thanks for reading(even though I don't think i have had anyone).
