A man died ‘in my arms’ this past weekend. After 20min of CPR on the beach we managed to get his pulse and breathing back momentarily – but it was shortlived. By the time the ambulance arrived, he’d been pulseless for too long. Just an hour before, a father, mother and daughter were enjoying some quality time on their boat – when it accidentally flipped and suddenly their whole world imploded. His tragic passing brought a simple truth to light for me again: Yes, life’s short (we’ve all heard that before) – but you never know just how short it’ll be … so do what matters.
Make that call, pay that visit – you know what’s really important … please do it.
Thanks for this post, Michael. We can never be reminded too often.
Life changes in a moment. This reminder helps us to remember how precious those are that we love and are close to. Make that call today. Let this man’s life bring love to those around you. It will not bring him back but it may help us bring life to those we love.
