Hug your people.

This has been a week of loss in our lives. A friend of mine from high school passed away suddenly. She had just gotten married for the first time and was looking forward to starting a family. Now she is gone. I don't know the cause yet but it wouldn't make it any less sad. My other friend lost his father to cancer this week as well. It makes life seem all the more precious when you see the people around you fading away. My husband lost his cousin this weekend. She was taken quickly by a very rare blood infection that had been initially diagnosed as a sinus infection. Before the doctors could get a handle on her ever worsening condition she was gone. Gone way to early and way too quickly. No one expected this outcome or saw it coming and it has been a tragedy for so many people. Life is tender and we need to take advantage of every moment we have together.
