Life and all things associated

I found out this morning that a man I used to work for has died in a tragic accident.  He drowned after being swept away by a huge wave while on holiday with his partner, she also died.  He wasn’t just a man I used to work, for he was a friend.  I haven’t seen him in a couple of years and I was thinking only the other day how I should get in touch with him and catch up.  Now I can’t. 

It made me think about how we let people slide away from us. You think about them, wonder how they are, what they’re doing but you keep putting off until tomorrow the phone call or visit.  You never think they may not be there. So tomorrow never comes and they slip further away.  I now wish I had popped in to see him a few weeks ago when I thought about it but like most people it just didn’t enter my head that one day the option to catch up would no longer be there.

 Hold on to the people you care about.  Don’t let them slip away!
