The Adventures of Running Lisa

I’ve had a kind of surreal weekend. A friend of mine very suddenly lost her fiancé. He was playing basketball, went to get some water, and collapsed. He was 30 years old. I can’t even imagine how utterly devastated she is right now. I would be completely broken. One minute you’re planning your wedding and your life and the next it’s completely taken away. I wish there was something I could do or say for her to make it better, but there’s not. I didn’t know him very well. I met him just once before Christmas, but I saw all the kind and amazing notes written by friends on his facebook page. I’m hoping the family can find solace in the fact that he seems to have touched many lives with his spirit. Hopefully his spirit can live on in others by inspiring them to live better lives. And I think all of us should use this as a reminder that you never know what’s going to happen. Never miss an opportunity to give someone a hug or tell them how much you love them, because you just never know.
