A few weeks ago, a man was driving down the street along a forest preserve. All of a sudden, a tree falls and lands on his car, killing him (not instantly). If he had been a second past the tree or even a second before the tree, he probably would have lived. Sadly, he made perfect timing...
This just didn't seem fair to me. This man was probably on his way to work thinking about his family and his job and the plans he'd made for that day. All of a sudden - BOOM! - he's dead. His time was cut too short. What if he still had important things to take care of? What if he still had to make peace with people? What if he still wanted to make things right with his faith? What if he had to say things still left unsaid?
Sadly, he'll never get his chance. And this happens everyday. But it's more humbling to hear about one person than all these statistics about how many people die a day. The sad thing is no one saw this coming. It's surreal to think that in an instant everything can change without warning. Always keep in mind that tomorrow is guaranteed to no one.
