Today would have been my friend Eugene’s birthday. Happy birthday Goza. Eugene lost his battle to cancer six months ago. He left behind a beautiful wife and three adorable children. Who would have thought that such a vibrant life would be cut so short? We never know what is in store for our future. Eugene, you are gone, but you would not be forgotten. The Goza man remains in our memories and our hearts. We will not forget your jokes and your laughter. You did not just pass through my friend, you had a positive impact on several lives. Whenever, we remember you, we talk about what a fun person you were. Good memories Goza man, good memories. The way you led your life, was obvious in the tributes that you received.

Therefore my friends, let’s not forget to make that phone call that we have been procrastinating about. Go ahead enroll in that dancing class. Go and see that football game. Play with your children. Let your friends and families know how much you love and appreciate them. Forgive your enemies (I know, that is a hard one). Don’t sweat the small stuff! Kick back and enjoy life. Now, if you are like me, who believes in heaven and hell, you had better make peace with your God. Don’t wait until it’s too late. Tie the ‘nuts and bolts’. Live your life to the fullest.
