Why You Need a Really Good Friend or Two
Islands are vacation spots, not people
Today I had coffee with a friend I shared a house with 30 years ago.
When my friend Brent died, I was impressed with this fact:
You don’t know how long you have in this life. So if you want to do something, can you really afford to wait until tomorrow?
I remember hiring a young girl to work in my store. This was probably her first job. She didn’t have work skills, but she was eager to learn. I made it my goal to teach her what she needed to know so she could work unsupervised.
After a few months, I was really proud of what she had become.
Then one morning on the radio, I heard about two young ladies who were killed in a hit and run accident. The announcer gave her name, which was unusual enough to be unique.
I called her grandmother to confirm that it really was her.
It was.
Tomorrow may never come.
