Life's Too Short

"One day your life will flash before your eyes. Make sure it's worth watching."

Seeing my grandpa go through all of this has made me realize that you can't take life for granted. You never know what tomorrow is going to bring and you need enjoy every little moment because it could be gone in an instant.

My grandpa hasn't got the chance to travel or do what he's always wanted to because he had to take care of the farm that he had. He figured he would do that when he got older and didn't have the farm anymore, well now he has lung cancer and isn't able to travel anywhere. He hasn't got to see some of the amazing sites in the world and it has made me realize that life is too short, don't think that you always have tomorrow to do something. Live your life without any regrets, take the time to spend with your loved ones and time to do things that make you happy. We only have a limited time on earth and it shouldn't be spent being unhappy or wishing we should have done the things we wanted but couldn't because we're too busy working.

I know my grandpa is happy with how he's lived his life but he wishes he could have done so much more, his life isn't over it and a miracle could always happen. There is no better person than him and if anyone deserves to not be in pain anymore it's him, whether it's here on earth or in heaven.

"Regret for the things we did can be tempered by time; it is regret for the things we did not do that is inconsolable."
