Just this morning I found out that a good friend from a previous ward passed away this weekend in an ATV accident. She had not yet had the opportunity to get married or have kids but she was such an amazing girl. She had the ability to cheer anyone up and make you feel so comfortable.Although I hadn't seen her for a while, she recently sent me a message on Facebook and I never took the chance to write her back. When I found out the news, I immediately thought back to this message and guilt overtook me. I will never have the opportunity to talk to her again in this life.
As I continue to think about this sweet girl and other people in the past, living and not, that I have failed to keep contact with or continue building the relationships we started years ago, it makes me ponder and set new goals for keeping in touch and building relationships. I want to be able to live in the moment and cherish each day!

I too have regrets like this. It is always sad when things like this happen. But I think I also realize that we may not always be able to keep in touch with everyone... and that's okay too.
