Be Authentic

I lost a friend of mine this weekend. He was visiting family, helping with the arrangements of his own father's funeral and complained of having chest pains. He died at the hospital. He was only 34, so handsome, active and in great shape. He was such a genuine guy. Very sincere. Light-hearted, confident and sure of himself. As my grandparents would say "He was good people". When you spoke to him, you felt as if you were the only one in the room. He was a great listener, an awesome guy. Would have made a great mate for a lucky woman. He was really and truly a rare gem. So I'm in a state of shock right now. I'm hurting moreso for his family.

Be authentic you guys, at all times. In every moment, be present. Enjoy yourselves. You just never know. And take good care of yourselves. Watch how you manage the stress in your lives. Check in every once in a while with yourself... It sounds weird, I know, but it's prudent to listen to what your body is telling you. Take joy in the little things.

I'll miss you K.G.

I'm sorry to hear of your loss. K.G seem like a awesome postive person. The way he lived his life is how we all should be living. Take time to mourn, think about all of the wonderful time you'll shared and try to pass on what he taught you. I will keep you and his family in my prayers.
