Today, January 26, 2020, the world learned of the unexpected death of sports legend, Kobe Bryant and his young daughter, Gigi in a helicopter crash. Several others also lost their lives in the crash.
Due to his celebrity status the news of this tragic loss is being discussed by many on several different television outlets as well as radio and social media. This blog article is proof of that very point. I also plan to do a short podcast as well.
Here's my simple point that I'd like to make: ALL of our relationships are precious in their own ways and we should NEVER take them for granted. However, we do just that, don't we? We become used to those people always being there and we just don't even think about the possibility of talking to them one morning and then having them gone just a few hours later. Never to return.
I want to encourage you to do all that you can to get in the habit of appreciating the relationships that you have in your life and, at the same time, expressing that appreciation to those that make up the relationships in your life. Some are closer than others and they all have different "feelings" connected to them.
Whether it is telling someone how much you value and appreciate their friendship or telling someone that you love them, get in the habit of doing just that.
Life is too short and the future is never promised. Take the time today to say what needs to be said. Take advantage as soon as you get the opportunity and, perhaps, MAKE the opportunity because friend, you just never know.
Thank you for being a part of my life -
Mike Spillman
