Sad Reminder

A friend of mine just recently passed away. She was ill but her death was still a surprise. She was a good person with a giving heart and spirit. She was a friend that I will always remember and miss. Her death has given me more than just tears and sadness. It has forced me to reflect on many things in my life. Everyday that we breathe is a precious gift from God. This is the life that will decide our eternity. We have to make the most of this time. I see my wife and children with keener eyes. I love them even more. I see the world and the people around me with more meaning. I pray that I will leave a good impression on this world after I am gone. My friend was one of those people who believed that I would. She always told me that I had a great destiny ahead. She said that I would reach my dreams and be a light to many others. Sometimes I feel bad because she did not live to see the vision that she believed for me. She may not be here but her faith in me lives on. I will see my dreams through. I will make a positive impact on this world. I will fulfill my destiny. She will see it from another place. She'll be happy and proud of the impression she made.
