In light of Ryan's passing, I thought I'd share a quick story- a few weeks ago, my uncle was driving back home from work. As he was entering the gate to his village, he felt a pain in his chest. He felt like he was going to pass out, so he stopped the car and got out. It was then that my uncle collapsed on the road. He was having a massive heart attack, at the age of 45. My uncle was incredibly lucky -- just then, a man pulled past who was on his way out. The man noticed my uncle, and drove him to the hospital. The man was a paramedic. My uncle owes the man his life.

I don't know the circumstances of Ryan's death, but I've definitely taken these two occurrences as a lesson in how random and fragile life can be. We really need to make sure we live our lives to the fullest.
