Sad Goodbye

This morning I will be babysitting my grandson. My son has changed his work hours today in order to attend the funeral for NYPD Officer Brian Moore. He will stand with about 30000 other law enforcement officers from the US and Canada and honor the memory of a young man who died for no reason. Last week at this time he was going to work and had a full life ahead of him. He had no idea that he would only have one more day on earth. That makes me think. Nothing is guaranteed to us. Not even our lives. Our fate is not in our hands. We have some say in it, but ultimately it is not our decision.
