"A single day is enough to make us a little larger." - Paul Klee (1879 - 1940)

At my Cousins hockey game on Sunday the timekeeper, father of one of the players, stumbled and fell down the stairs at the arena and hit his head on the boards.
One minute he was holding his granddaughter, watching his daughter play, and generously donating his time, and the next minute his life changed forever.

He passed away last night in hospital after they took him off life support. I feel incredible sympathy for his family and all those who knew him. I'd like to extend my sympathy to them today.

Sometimes it is so easy to forget how precious life is.

a wise person once imparted this quote on me:

"Heroes are those not in it for the fame
Not for the glory
And not for the name.
They inspire us all
And ask nothing in return
The gifts that they leave
Are the lessons we've learned."

a tragedy like this gives us a grave reminder of how precious life is...

live each day like its your last.
