Since class was dismissed about ten minutes early I stayed inside LeBaron for a while and talked with a friend of mine. While we were waiting for the time to pass, I overheard multiple conversations of passersby talking about what might have happened to the girl or people inquiring about the ambulance outside. No one seemed to fully know what was going on and it was killing me that I did not know the real story. No better way to start a rumor. I eventually left and on my way to Kildee I was passing by McKay and noticed that the fire alarm had gone off. I wondered what was going on inside. Was someone pulling a prank or was it real? Nobody knows. What a way to start out a Monday morning.
It got me thinking, we are so unbelievably fragile. Life can simply vanish in a matter of seconds. We have all heard that we take life for granted, but I do not think you can really grasp it until you encounter a near death experience. It may make you reflect back on all of the great experiences you have had so far, maybe some of the few not so good that you realize are tying you down and make you release them, it may mean to make things right with those you have wronged, it may mean you call that special someone and tell them you love them because you do not know if you will have another opportunity, but for me, I thank God for this life that he has given me. I know my days on this earth are numbered and so I will use them for the One who gives me life and breath and everything else.
