So sorry this post has nothing to do with osCommerce but I had the urge to post something after speaking to this very nice lady while playing canasta online.

She recently lost her nephew. He was murdered… get this… by a 22 yr old woman for a gold chain. Yes, I said a 22 yr old woman, for a gold chain.
Can you believe that? All caught on video. Kicked in the head for 20 minutes by the womans boyfriend who is over twice the kids size. There are many other things they did to this teen but I will not go into it because it is horrible and scary to think people are capable of such things.

Luckily the people who killed this teen were caught and are in prison. When they were caught they were wearing the things they took off his dying body. This poor kid was just walking to the skytrain station after watching fireworks. Shows you that you just never know when will be the last time you see someone you love. Now this is a horrible subject, and depressing and sad and disturbing but it brings home something I truly believe in which is what prompted me to make this post…

Always, always, always make sure the ones you love know it.

I make it a point to tell my husband I love him before he leaves for work every morning. I tell him I love him every time he walks out that door, or calls on the phone. Sounds silly, but even after 7 years of marriage I want to be sure he knows just how much I love him. Every time I talk to a family member, I tell them I love them. I have lost enough family members to know I never want them to leave me without them knowing I care.

Such a simple thing to say, yet so many do not say it.
