Quick Note
Just a quick note. the young man that I wrote about yesterday has passed away. I cried when I heard this. I didnt know this guy at all. I had seen him on tv when he ran for city council in Fairfield. Some people questioned his experience, asking him if he knew what he was getting himself into. He replied, yes and he was willing and to jump in and make a difference in his community. His whole community liked him. they were sad to hear of his being shot, and then of his passing. He was only 22. I am sorry this happened to you Matt Garcia. Hopefully you will inspire someone else to be like you.

"In grief, one can endure the day, just the day. But when one also tries to bear the grief ahead, one cannot compass it. As for happiness, it can only be the ability to experience the moment. It is not next year that life will be so flawless and if we keep trying to wait for next year's happiness, the river of time will wind past and we shall not have lived at all"
ReplyDeleteAnother young life snuffed out by violence. I am sorry too for the world and what it's becoming.
ReplyDeleteSo sad...Such a young and vibrant life gone too soon. I am sorry for his familys loss and the loss that the community is suffering as well.
ReplyDeleteGood for him!! He may have had a short time on this planet.. but, he probably LIVED twice as long as others could ever hope to live!
