It's amazing how the lives of some can touch us in many ways. It seems however we don't take notice or realize it until their gone. This all boils down to us not appreciating what we have until we don't have it anymore. People get comfortable with their surroundings and almost like forget how important it was at the time. Like a new car, you love it, baby, hand wash it every weekend, no food in the car, etc. Two years later most of those habits will be long gone and even looking for a new car car to love. If you had to give up your car one day and it was gone you would start to realize how lucky you were and not care about getting a new car just having the one you had.
This week three peoples lives passed that I never meet in person but they all touched me in an entertaining way. Michael Jackson, Farrah Fawcett and Tippy Tom. MJ was a super star that his music was heard everywhere and played at so many parties, clubs, iPods and what not. Though he feel apart in his later years and was a mess he will always be rembered. FF was a beauty who stared in the first season of Charlies Angels and was forever on after as an icon in the celbrety world. I complete this with TT who was an alcoholic homeless gay man who had HIV+ who once was a succesful businessman, married with a kid. His life feel apart and he lived on the streets and found himself on the Opie and Anthony show for the past 10 years give or take a few years.
Once these people passed people came out of the shadows with support and how much they will now miss them. I think it's amazing how many people care and said their words of praise and how they were touched by their life on earth. I wish their families the best and they should take pride in what great people they were.
The reality is their passings won't change my life in anyway but it does remind me as I hope it does to others the importance of appreciating one another. If its your parents, siblings, lover, kids, friends or whatever just know what you have. Take a minute to think what rolls these people play in your life and what it would be with out them. Life is too short and it can end in the blink of an eye so don't let silly drama or other stupidity get in your way of those you love and care about.
~ Peace ~
