Life is too short.....
Today I was patrolling around and today was the first day I actually could "get my head in the game" and everything was going pretty well. For those of you who dont know a good friend and fellow officer of mine was killed last week.
Then I was parked a local parking lot setting up a landing zone for a medical helicopter transport my mom calls me and tells me my cousin was killed in a motorcycle accident an hour or so ago. Thats the second traffic related death in my close family and friends in 10 days...he was hit by a car not paying attention just like my fellow officer.. Life is too short people. Tell the people you love that you love them, dont always take for granted they wil be there tomorrow. Spend every second you can with them and charish them... I have kids and look at them and they melt my heart I cant imagine something happening to them or what they would do without me...Just remember nothing is life is guaranteed except death, and who knows when its coming... You guys be safe out there on the roads and please PAY ATTENTION TO ROAD WHEN YOUR DRIVING TO THINGS AROUND YOU....YOU CAN ALWAYS TEXT MESSAGE AND CALL PEOPLE LATER.

Very sorry to hear about your family. But you are correct, life really is too short. Odd...but since I turned 30 I've become a much more emotional person. I take much more time to tell my family I love them. I spend more time reading to my kids or just cuddling with them, when before I would just try to hurry the nightly routine up so I could sit down and relax. I've realized a lot lately that my children will only be young once and there will only be so many times I can watch them fall asleep before they grow up and don't need me any more. I've spent more time with my mother and father and I've built the strongest relationship I've ever had in my life with my father. My father is now 65 years old and I can't help but think that if anything happened to him right now (the men in his family have all died mid to early 60's) that I didn't spend enough time getting to know him as a person, not just my father. My mother is now my friend, not just my mother. My husband hears daily how much he means to me. I've become friends with people I've known for a long time that I just never really "had time to get to know". Sometimes you just realize how short life really is and you make changes. Thank you for bringing this up because every thing you said is true. Cherish every moment you have!

I'm really happy to see how many people agree. What upsets me the most is when you see someone taking life for granted and you want so much to show them what is REALLY important....and you can't. Because that's something you have to LEARN. When I talk to a girl who just found out she's unexpectedly pregnant and she's complaining that her life is "ruined" because she can't party anymore....I don't lecture that she should have been careful...I just wait silently until the day of delivery and THEN see how all that has changed and they've found out what is there to live for! Another thing I've really focused on lately is trying to talk people into doing things they don't really want to do when it concerns their family. For instance my husband didn't want to dance with his mother at our wedding. I made it clear how important this was because that would be the ONLY time in his life that mother and son could have that ONE special moment. And you can bet he still talks about how she cried when the song began. I have another friend whose fiance gets upset because she goes to all of her only nephews sports events so for a while she stopped going. We talked about that and she finally went back. They just played in the state playoff and it's his senior year. He's not playing in college. That was the last time she will ever get to see him play. Some things just seem so little at the time, but can mean so much later on. I used to get so annoyed when my mom wanted to get together all the time for dinner or to just see her grandkids for a bit. Now *I'm* the one having the cookouts and dinners. I could ramble about this for a while, lol. I guess it just seems funny that when you realize these things, it hits you hard and it's hard to believe it ever felt any different. And from that point on it's one of the strongest things you feel!
