I just returned home right now, meeting with a really good friend that I haven't seen in two years or more. My friend Brian had his ups and downs, and he is on his way up again. This is the good news I wish to share, because good ol' friends should never be forgotten, especially around the holiday season.

Now on th the sour news. His youngest brother Cory, I've been told, was hit by a car. He's still alive, but has severe head trauma. It was estimated that the car was going about 40 mph, and when it struck him, he flipped over and landed on his head. He had internal bleeding in his brain, causing him to almost forget everything, including who he is. Also, he keeps repeating himself. This news made me not wnt to talk, but cry. The last time I saw him was at a local festival. We didn't have much time to talk, and I told him I wanted to make time to hang out with him. I'm not even sure he even remembers me anymore.

Please be very carefull, because one accident or mistake can change your life forever. I just want to share this story with all of you.

We take for granted our health and well being when we have it. But when something like that happens, we realize just how fragile life is and how things can change at any moment.

My thoughts are with you and the family of your friend.
