I usually like to keep these upbeat and light-hearted but today is a little different. I decided to take a little time to do something for a couple of hours today with the whole family. (Though the Divan members usually cringe when I say I took a slight break because it usually means I've taken the time to come up with a bunch of new projects for us to undertake...but not this time.)
I received the sad message the daughter of our new Parade Escort Director, Randy Izor, had passed away at the young age of 31. I called and talked to Randy and it even hit home harder when he indicated that just a couple of weeks back his daughter was fine and she was expecting a new baby. Last week his daughter had some serious complications and they had to do an emergency surgery and deliver the baby (who is doing fine at this time). Unfortunately, Randy's daughter was not as fortunate.
In our everyday fast paced lives, we need to take time to remember each day to be thankful for what we have and live every day as if there is no tomorrow. And always remember ... to let those we love know as often as possible.
