funny how things work out (or don't).

Loss is a funny thing. And to be cliche, you don't really know what you have until it's gone.

This past weekend one of my very dear friends lost one of her very dear friends suddenly. He was young, my age actually. She had recently talked to him about how they would spend time together soon.

When I found out, I didn't know what to say to her. And for those of you that know me, it is rare that I have nothing to say. All I could do was hug her and tell her everything would be alright.

Recently, another one of my friends found out he would be deployed, yet again. I don't know when I will see him next as I will have graduated by the time he gets to come back.

In short, appreciate what you have, when you have it. You never know when you could lose someone you love.

So, tell the ones you love that you love them. Tell them every day. Spend time with them, make it count.
