Daniel Langdon, Age 36
Gosh, it sure seems like a lot of people have died this year. Of course there were all the high profile celebrities but I swear I am always reading about people who have died and people going to funerals. I realize people pass all the time but this year in particular it seems like the Lord has called a lot of people home. Does 2009 have some death connotation to it? Well, unfortunately this past weekend, I was shocked to learn that one of my classmates in high school lost her husband very suddenly. Her and her husband were high school sweethearts and had 3 young children together. I have been reconnecting with classmates on Facebook so that is how I learned of his passing. I can't even imagine what she is going through! Death is hard enough but to lose your husband so young must be a nightmare. I wouldn't even want to think about life without my hubby. It would seem just impossible. Daniel Langdon was running in the Detroit Marathon this past Sunday when he collapsed at the 11th mile marker and taken to the hospital. What is even more strange is that two additional people also died in that race, a 26 year old man and a 65 year old man. All three seemed to be very active people. I guess at the end of the day we can't change what happened but what we need to do is live every moment to the fullest. You just never know when your time is up. If you are reading this I encourage you to tell the people you care about that you love them today and give them a big hug.
