Life should be about traveling and relaxing.  It should be about cold winter nights around a fire with your best friends and warm spring nights in a field with tents and a grill.

Life should be filled with laughter so loud that it interrupts most things, and songs that everyone closes their eyes and sings along with, holding a smile between parted lips and love in their hearts.

Life...big sigh.  Life is so short.  Too short to let go of.  Life should be ripped from your fingernails while dragged across a hardwood floor kicking and screaming; begging not to have it taken away.

Life is lived on by us.  We keep it sacred, and we love it.  We share it with everyone, and everyone who smiles at you throughout your day appreciates and understands that, whether they say so or not.

You're life.  You're love.  You are loved.  Never forget this.  Even me, as angry and as hostile as I am, I love too.  We all do.  And we pass this on to strangers, so they can and they do.  

Remember.  I love you.  Pass it on....
