Dear Diary,
I don’t think people realize how short life is. Just last night I came home from a choir get together and was told that a family friend passed away. His name was Omar. He was just 39 years old when he left this earth. He died from a heart attack, leaving four baby girls and a wife behind. When my mom told me it seemed so surreal. I thought to myself how could he have died… he was young, strong, and healthy.
I couldn’t even imagine what his wife was going through. I thought how much harder would it be to tell the girls? They are so young and to not have their daddy anymore… It seemed horrific to me. I mean I couldn’t imagine life without my dad. He comforts me and loves me. He is the only man that I can trust. He has this way of making everything better. And for all that to just vanish in a blink of an eye…. I can’t even describe how I would feel. Hearing this taught me to never take my dad, or mom for that matter, for granted.
