My turn to reflect....

WARNING: This post has nothing to do with Crossfit. I just had to get this out today so here it goes...

I walked into work today to horrific news. My friend's 3 yr old daughter died. No warning. She was perfectly healthy, and moreover, beautiful, smart, charming, and sweet. No murmurs. No lung issues. No prematurity. She was sick in the morning with a mild temperature, and a little cough. Mom and Dad put her to bed, as any good parent would. And when they went to check on her a few hours later, she was there, pale, cold, and pulseless. There was nothing that could be done.

I can not imagine the pain that Dr. Jose and his wife must be feeling right now. I am praying that they will find strength, peace, and the knowledge that their daughter is in a better place. If you have a moment, say a prayer for them too. I guess with the way the world is, God needs all his angels right now....

And please, count your blessings. Give that person that you love (wife, husband, sister, child, friend) an extra hug and kiss today. If you have a beef with someone, let it go. Relish in spending time with the people that mean the most to you. Call your mom and say I love you. Then tell your dad, brothers, sisters, spouses, kids, and friends. Do the same tomorrow. You never know when you will be able to tell them next....
