Taking things for granted

This morning when I came to work someone came and reported that one of the students lost her father and brother and so she had to leave the college. Later on I realized one of the supervisors did not show up today and later they told me that her brother passed away last night. He was only 35 years old and single; he just got a heart attack and that was it for him. As the girls in the office were discussing when to visit her to give their condolences, one of the other girls got a call that her sister passed away. What are the odds of having all these deaths in one day?

The whole department is quiet and everyone has somehow gone into their own zone. In terms of what I am thinking is only about home. What if something happens to one of my close ones? Will they tell me immediately? What if a certain person I cared for dearly passed away without me telling that person how much I really cared for them?

Sometimes we take things for granted. Specially me; I was believe that thinks will make their way and will eventually work out. But what if I lost someone without saying sorry for all the trouble I gave them; without letting them know how much I love them and would be willing to do whatever they want as long as they are happy.

I guess I have a lot of phone calls to do and Emails to send today. Who knows when someone might leave us, or when I will leave myself.
