Life is delicate and fragile

Today I learned of a sweet niece of mine that tragically lost her life this week. It has weighed heavy on my heart at how fragile life can be. I want to hug my family that is hurting so bad from this tragic event and wanting to be of some comfort. They are on the East Coast and I am on the West there is too much distance and my arms won't reach that far. Thoughts keep running through my mind of how delicate we can be. This past month I was put in a situation similar to this with my own family. Not realizing the impact that depression can have on person and their struggles to survive these trials that we go through in this life. I did everything in my power and took as many precautions to change the end result. When I was told that I did not have the power over another. I then realized that you physically can not help another if they want to take their life. But, You can unconditionally love another and be the strength that they need to survive. Always follow your heart when you are tempted to say Hi to a stranger or check up on a neighbor. Don't be afraid to be a helping hand or just somebody to talk to. But most of all love your fellow man. We are here and we all need help at one time or another. Let's make an effort to go out of our way for another, it is never convenient and life gets to busy but, we can make a difference in another's life if we just take the time.
