In the last 7 days, i lost a friend. I have had a post about death before. Whenever it hits home, the feelings are always unexplainable. Briant had a 24th birthday 3 weeks ago. He was so full of life and literally the life of the party. There was never a dull moment around Briant and now he is gone due to a tragic accident. It just doesn't seem fair. It feels so weird when someone so close and so young dies. The news was shocking and very very unexpected and i think that is what makes the impact of this tragedy so profound. It took me a while to process the news because i just could not believe it. It is sad. You start to put things in perspective. You start to appreciate more of the time you have with your loved ones because tomorrow is truly never a guarantee. This is truly sad because it shouldn't take tragedy to jump start the heart and ignite emotions of appreciations. They should already be there, but we live in such a society. I am thankful that my path crossed Briant's, no matter how brief our interactions. I am grateful for the life i am living. Yes i complain, but i am learning that being appreciative and taking advantage of TODAY instead of procrastinating and saying i will call this friend tomorrow, or do this thing tomorrow. I pray that God gives Briant's family the strength to get through this rather difficult time. May his legacy on earth, however short, live on forever.
RIP Briant Marc Rowe.
Love.
