Hug your kids...right now...even if they are asleep

[maodiver]

My best friends and I have been together since we were 5.

I just got word that one of my best friend's daughter died from an asthma attack early this morning. She was 6. She won't get to repeat my opening statement...

Hug your kids...right now!

Tell them you love them... a lot!

Forgive your kids for any perpetrations they have done up to this point...verbally, subconsciously, totally, and unconditionally.

I have no way of understanding how his family feels right now...and I live 5 hours away, and can't be there for him.

Tearfully,
Mike

When you do see or talk to him, let him know that all of us here are praying for him and his family.
Thank you.

Mike,
My prayers go out to them & to you as well.
When our youngest Daughter Maggie was in high school, 3 years in a row one of her classmates lost a parent or sibling. To this day, Maggie NEVER ends any visit, phone call, or communication without saying "I love you". She does so as she believes (rightly so) that any of us could be gone at any time. The rest of us in the Family have learned this from her & we practice it as well.
God Bless,
Mike

When I seen the title of this thread I knew I didn't want to read it.

Thoughts and prayers from NW Washington to the family. Not even knowing the child or family I still have tears in my eyes and sadness in my heart.
