In memory of Dan Murphy

Life is short.

Today, I'm grateful for life. Every last second of it that I get I'm going to be grateful for.

Okay, so I know I said in the last post is that one of the things I've discovered is that I have time. But what if I don't? Maybe what I meant to say was that the mistakes, the change, all of it... all of it is part of the precious time we have. That the mistakes, the bad stuff... it isn't a waste of time, it's just an essential part of life.

For the past two years I`ve lived in residence. One of the guys who lived there last year passed away today. Now I`m not going to say we were great friends or anything, but I cared a lot about every single person living in that house, and this boy was basically adopted to the floor I lived on. It`s like a family, living in residence. And getting this news today... it just broke my heart for everybody who ever knew that priceless kid.

So here`s to Dan, your memory will forever rest at the heart of Neill.
