Life is Fragile.

I've been learning that life is precious.

I've been learning that no matter how hard things get, it will get better.

I've been learning that even though you may seem at a loss,

Even though you may seem like nothing will change.

It will.

I've learned that life is hard,

Nothing about it will ever be easy.

It's like learning to read, write, spell, throw a baseball, ride a bike.

It takes practice.

It will never go the way you planned.

It's not easy.


I've learned that to take a life is one of the worst tragedies in the world.

I've learned that to take your own life....

Is the worst way to leave.

The scariest way to leave.

But it is never  the answer.


No matter how hard things seem,

No matter how hurt you may feel.

No matter how alone you may feel.

Someone will miss you.

Lots of people will miss you.


RIP Cole Bougie. My prayers go out to you and your family and friends.
