Your friend who lost her mom will grieve for many years, I am quite sure. My mother passed on Christmas Eve 2000 and there is not a day that goes by that I don't think of her... like today, I really needed her......
oh I'm sure. it must be so hard. she has her dad..but I know its not the same.
I guess the way I look at it is live your life to the fullest and don't do anything you can't sleep with at night. Make sure important people to you know theyre important.

yes I agree. and I definitely do my best with that.
Just found out that yet another friend lost someone to a car crash (3rd friend in a year, 2nd in 2 months). It actually hit me so hard this time, I started crying. I can't imagine how these people must feel to lose someone they love so suddenly. How do you prepare for something like that?
This is why it always angers me beyond belief when I see people taking each other for granted. I know I'm trying to be better about it myself. You really just never know anymore.
It felt like a death when my ex-wife left me. Actually, it was worse because I know she's happy with someone else and I'm destined to be alone. I took her for granted and lost her forever.

That is sad.
Yes, sometimes we take others for granted but trying hard not to is what makes relationships.
good post. the basic point of taking people for granted is this.
as long as u r willing to take it, they are willing to dish it out.
here is where my fierce sense of loyalty has done some damage.
its a long road but learning to not fall for "doing the right thing" preached by church and family, can lead to improved living. never never never prepay for a swimming pool.
I always found the saying "Life is too short" to be completely over used.
This was when I was much younger. Now, I think of all of the saying you hear growing up, and pretty much ignore til you get older, I find this one to probably be one of the truest.
Same goes with saying like, "If you got your health, you got everything."
I see that one first hand, as we have a couple of family members that are struggling with health issues.
I'm very sorry for your losses Mir but be assured we have all been there. I've always thought the loss of a loved one tears off a piece of your heart. Some loved ones take a larger piece than others but eventually your old heart just can't take the heartache anymore and your death then takes a piece of someone else's heart.
The loss of my parents and in-laws almost ripped my heart from my chest but the very recent death of a beloved brother-in-law almost finished me off. I now have a sister and brother who are in pretty bad shape. Not sure I will be able to take it but I must.
Chin up and bear with it. You cannot prepare for these losses. It's a sad part of life.
