Day 27 1/29/08 What to lose

I just received an email my girlfriend lost her father last night. It was unexpected, and I pray peacefully quick. I send a little prayer up to the big man to welcome him into his eternal life. I know it sounds cheesy, but it's just my ritual. Whenever someone passes, or is ill, or I see an accident on the side of the road, I offer up a little prayer. I've been out of practice, except for those few tossed up every now and then. I think God understands and accepts my position and prayers. It's days like today that make you incredibly thankful for what you have. Today I will relish every moment, embrace my family and appreciate all that today gives me.
