It's been very shocking to us to hear about my nephew Matthew. Matthew is a gifted tennis player, and a very intelligent young many who is preparing to enter Kelley School of Business at Indiana University. For a person of this promise to fall ill so quickly is, to say the least, a surprise.
Matthew remains constantly in our thoughts and prayers, but our thoughts also turn quickly inward. It is a reminder to live each day on it's on, and enjoy the good times-- you never know when somethings going to come along a slow you down.
To me, the lesson isn't so much that you need to live to excess every day, going on expensive vacations, and indulging yourself. Rather, to me, the lesson is to be nice to people. I think it's way too easy to take the people around you for granted. Life is better if you take a moment to appreciate the people in your life. It's the best way to seize the day.
I know I don't do that enough.
