Life is but a fleeting moment.

Oh man. I'm beginning to blog like everyday. I haven't decided whether that's a good thing or not.
Anyway, I've been thinking about life.
This poor girl's dad passed away due to a hit and run accident on Montrose on Jan. 1st.
I don't know this girl well, but I have seen her here and there at school.
They say that she witnessed the entire ordeal.
I thought about this, and honestly, I have no idea how she could cope with such a burden. Just thinking about watching my dad get hit by a car terrifies me.
What would I do without him? If he went home RIGHT NOW, how would I feel? Would I have regrets?
And then I was reminded of that song...I am a flower quickly fading, here today and gone tomorrow; a wave tossed in the ocean; a vapor in the wind.
Truly, truly we are quite powerless to save our own lives. How fleeting, small, and insignificant our lives are. I'm not sure if that's depressing or awe-inspiring; perhaps both.
Thank you, God for my family; for keeping us safe.
