Times Like These.

Yet again, it's times like these that make me think about life, the precious state of life and it's unpredictability.

In about 24 hours, two people I know passed away. I only know them by name/face association, but it's still enough of shock to make you think twice about life. One was a primary school classmate... He was 20-years-old and died on Tuesday evening from injuries sustained in a horrible car accident earlier this week.

The other attended the same high school as me... She was in her late teens, a freshman in college. She received a diagnosis of acute leukemia two weeks ago, but, despite chemo, it was already life-threatening. She passed away last evening.

I'm sure that several people impacted by one of these young deaths are also impacted by the other. Especially for these people, losing two people unexpectedly in 24 hours is sure to be heartbreaking. If either of these situations come to mind, please remember and pray for the families and friends of these young adults.
