Death you have hurt me. You made me question my existence. You torment me as if I’m a harmless toy and you are Sid from Toy Story.
Don’t get me wrong, I know our meeting is inevitable. I know you are going to kidnap all my loved ones eventually. It’s how and when you take them from me when I start to care. Car collisions, sudden illness, brain aneurysms, all the things you can never fully predict. Death, you had never been something I have worried about. You took my great grandpa away three years ago.

Then low and behold death comes surprises you with a brain aneurysm. What do you need to do to get that bad of luck? That’s what gets me. You can be the happiest, go-lucky person in the world and still not make a mark.You could be the most driven person in the world and still die before you can leave a mark. You could be the best student-athlete in the world and still not make a mark. At least big enough of a mark for people to remember for
