We all have a story to be told‚ something that will be written about us or a tale people will tell when we are gone. Death may appear ominous because many of us fail to realize there’s no reset button to life. You can’t go to sleep one day‚ wake up the next day and go back in time. When one day is gone‚ you can’t go back and make things right. Twenty-four hours is enough time to do a lot‚ but when you don’t plan what you want to do with your month the days fly by too quickly.
