Too short...

What can you say to someone you've lost touch with, when what brings you together is death?

How can I express how sorry that I am for your loss, when that doesnt even scratch the surface of how my heart aches for you and your family, for the life that had barely gotten started and had so much potential. For the family they left behind, and for the hole that is now gaping in everyones heart. For the smile that was so big, so adventureous, and so mischevious, but will never smile again.
Why do we feel so immortal when mortality stares back at us in the mirror screaming out how frail we are. Life is too short, no matter how long you live, so make the best of it, keep in touch, cherish every thought and memory made, dont hold grudges, buy lemonade from kids and tip generously, and live, laugh, love and dream like there is no tomorrow; because one day tomorrow will come, and it take you completely by surprise.
