Burying A Loved One!

This morning we will attend the funeral of a young man who played on a high school football team on which I was one of the coaches. He died of a gunshot wound at the age of 26 leaving two young daughters behind.

Whenever I hear of a sudden death at any age, I wonder how the relationships with family members were left. If there were contentious issues unresolved, it’s too late now to make repairs.

As simplistic as this may sound, I think it is so important to attempt to live a life with as few regrets as possible. I know that’s easy to say and hard to do.

Take care of loved ones while they are still with you. Reach out to mend previous quarrels or strong disagreements.

Even if you are rebuffed, you tried!

If not today, when?
