I had this amazing person in my life once.
Sometimes. I forget about him.
Then sometimes, when I'm having trouble being positive, when I'm struggling to see those silver linings in the clouds. Something reminds me.
I posted my last post. In tears.
I turned on the T.V. afterward. And the MDA Telethon was on. Kory Kruse. Passed away at age 23 from Lou Gherig's disease. He never gave up. He was the strength that got his family through it all. He had to plan his own funeral. He chose not to be put on life support. He chose not to cheat death.
Sometimes I hear the once popular song from Green Day. Popularly known as Time of Your Life. I always take a second to wonder why it's playing because it's such an old song. In the back of my mind I always think to myself... just a little reminder from Kory. Live life, no regrets. You only get so long on this earth. It isn't your choice.
Be happy.
I'll never forget the day at the hospital with his family. Saying goodbye to him in his room. Sitting in the waiting area. Waiting for the doctor to come in and let us know, he was gone.
Kory made a soundtrack for his funeral. On it, was Time of Your Life. I'll never forget that moment in my life. I will never forget the inside of that church. Where I was sitting. How I was feeling.
I'll never forget Kory.
It doesn't mean I'll never be upset or hurt or sad. It just means I will remember that everything will pass. And it could be worse.
With love always.
