The way families and friends rally together in those moments is something that fully amazes and astounds me...and I'm convinced that true love and the deepest commitment are shown by those who stay with you to the very end - One of the most telling comments amongst his family who had gathered and were trying to make sense of what had just happened was that the loss of a loved one is so much harder when that loved one was so well-liked, respected, and trustworthy...even to the end he was still thinking of my aunt and how she would cope without him. It just means that we'll miss him even more.
So who is going to be with you when you're in your toughest spots? Who is going to be the rock when things are most challenging? Please tell those around you that you care about them now because every moment is precious.
