How Precious Is Life

How precious is life?   Ask a mother who has lost her child in a three year span to cancer.
How precious is life? Ask a man who has been in a horrible car accident, expecting to die.
How precious is life?  Ask a child who has recently lost his beloved favorite grandmother.
How precious is life?  Ask a young father who stopped breathing on the operating table for three minutes.
How precious is life?  Ask a teenager whose best friend died while texting this morning.
Life is not precious at all until an event rocks your world, then it becomes the ultimate precious thing.
