Lost Loved Ones

Written By: D. Collins 12/30/14 There are only two ways to lose loved ones. We lose some while living, others when life is done. With those who are gone, we have no control of. But, to those still living, we should show love. That can only be done by knowing sacrifice. Which involves pain, and seeing a grown man cry. Once our loved ones are gone, we’ll never be the same. We will never be able to control that enduring pain. We have to be persistent which requires a lot of work. It’s called loving someone before they leave this earth. That opportunity can disappear over a single night. Show that person love, while they still have life.
