I’m sure just like the rest of you Brittany Murphy’s death was a complete surprise; I know it was for me, I also know there are a lot of people giving her tributes and I have the utmost respect for them and although her death sparked this update it’s not a complete and total tribute, it’s more of taking a look at your life update. I woke up to the news that my half-sister’s father passed away after battling with complications of his kidneys among many other things for a little over three months, after getting all the treatment he could receive they took him home Friday giving the nurse to estimate two weeks term of this living expectancy, he passed away two days later this morning at nine. And it was sad, it still is and I know that Kim isn’t going to have the easiest of Christmases from now on but as morbid as it sounds when it is so long termed it’s almost like you’ve prepared yourself for the worst so I personally as surprised as I was, I wasn’t that shocked… until I got online. I saw the headline on my homepage and at first I thought it was a segment of celebrities who had people saying that they’ve died when they haven’t, it was the much of a shock to me that I completely denied it, things that catch you off guard shock you the most I guess. But then again that wasn’t my father dying and it’s a shock no matter what to my sister but that isn’t the point, the shock value is not the point, the point is two lives today among thousands, millions more have been lost today, thousands and millions more will be lost every single day and yet sometimes it slips our minds how precious life truly is. How quickly that car could get out of your hands, how quickly your health can weaken. You never know when your turn is up, you never know if the last word you say to someone will be your last word.
Those sayings about “living life to the fullest” probably get played out quickly but the fact of the matter is that’s true. Every day is a gift and it shouldn’t be wasted and I’m not saying this hypocritically because I know that some days I do absolutely nothing but I’m going to change that. I’m going to live. All in all, treat others the way you want to be treated, you never know what they’re going through and you never know just what might make their day and/or ruin it. I love every single one of you guys and I hope you have a Merry Christmas <3
