A very good friend of mine died in a car accident early Saturday morning. She was a wonderful, fun, loving and talented person. Her loss is a loss to many of us. I will miss her very much. I already do.
I had not seen her since April, when I went to her birthday party. I kept thinking about her. I kept thinking I needed to call her. But I didn't. I kept putting it off. It seems pointless now to say that I wish I had taken five minutes to pick up the phone and call her. Now, she's gone and it is too late.
So for those of you whom I was unable to reach over the weekend, I want to tell you that I love you (or at the very least care about you very much). Even if we do not keep in touch as much as we should, I want you to know this. Remember to value the most important things in your life because it can be over in a split second. There is no going back to tell your loved ones, your friends and family (even your pets) "I love you" or "I care about you" or "I value you and your friendship". Say it now. Do not wait.
PS
And for god's sake, wear your seat belts! It only takes a second! This is the second person younger than me that I have lost in the last six months to a car accident. Two people who most likely would still be alive if they had just put on their seat belts!
