If I had one wish, I would wish that everyone could live a healthy life till they are 90.  Then, if the body wanted to start a malfunction process, well at least each person had the chance to live a full life.  I myself am aiming for the century mark.  I know that I can control some aspects of my health, but there are other forces at play too.  Unexpected things that might hinder my progress to the hundred mark.

I also wonder about the fairness of life.  Why some people get to experience the joys of life, while others don’t.  If I really sat down are truly thought all this through, I think I would feel hopeless…

But, that isn’t what this conversation is about.  It’s about celebrating your moments when they happen.  Trying to turn your bad days around and to remember that each day is a gift and each person that you love should know just how much you love them…

Today Sara Sullivan lost her battle to breast cancer.  Her daughter Chloe was born September 9th.  I don’t know these individuals, but I can’t help but feel grief for her, her husband, daughter, family and friends.  This should have been a different time for all of them…joy, exhaustion, love, laughter and beginnings…

It’s just so unfair and sad.  I feel so sorry for her.  I know she is gone, but to finally have her baby and all the hopes and dreams that Sara must of had for the future and for her family and for her to not live it…

It breaks my heart…

I promise to live, laugh and love just a little more in honor of those dreams this new Mommy had.

I also promise to walk/run in honor of Sara next month during the Phoenix Susan G Komen event.  I don’t really know what else to do, but I can do that.  She’ll be on my back along with Karissa and Mom F.  One day all this walking will create enough money to find that cure.

To everyone that knew and loves Sara…I am so sorry for your loss today.
