(second post today- I know!)
So one of my students asked me about this weekend and my aunt so I told him the general story of everything and at one point he looked at me and said, "Things like that, they just really make you appriciate life don't they?"
At the time I didn't really think about and just nodded and said, "yes they do."
But now that I'm distanced from it, I realize just how odd it was for him to say it. I mean most people would say things like that would make you wonder, are are just baffling, are are just so sad, but he said something kind of positive.
So I got to thinking about it and this should make me appreciate life- not only that I still have it, but all those I do still have. The more I think about it, the more I think that is what Kim would want to.
We've been sad for her, and I'm sure she is touched by that- but she wouldn't want this to ruin our lives or too keep us down too long. She'd want us to appreciate each other, to take advantage of what she didn't get to.
So I'm going to try and do that.
I make no promises that I won't be sad sometimes or distracted, but we've got this life here, we might as well live it.
