Sometimes even good things will come to pass.

It's been a long time since my last post
Some good times and some bad times have occurred over the years... kids grown up, new friends enter and some old friends drift away... my self included. I once asked a good friend and mentor, Alex Eng, why do things have to change? At the time my own mother had died and my life as a child had abruptly ended at the age of 23 while I was still in college. Well now I've lost another close friend that I considered family when I was a young man. She took her own life one and a half years ago (I've only found out now, and cannot mention whom in respect for the family's privacy)...She was 9 years my junior and I had considered as my own little sister. I've seen her flourish into a social media expert with tons of followers, I've seen her enter the workforce being a confident young woman, and was very proud of her when she became a young mom... but now I'm overcome with sadness, and even guilt, because maybe if I had only stayed in contact maybe I could have changed something? I feel awful for her parents and brother... I can barley comprehend what they may be going through.... I may add to this post at a later date, but one word I must leave you with is to cherish those around you that you love, one day things may change and all you have are the memories of what once was. Take Care.
