Take a minute.

Today I am so grateful for life and the unexpected miracles that happen in the midst of tragedy. Friday morning my best friend went into cardiac arrest while at work and his heart stopped beating. Because of the quick response from his co-workers and campus police he was brought back to life and life flighted to a hospital in salt lake. 

I can't even imagine the horror his family and girlfriend experienced when they got the news. This was both unexpected and unexplainable but he is one of the very few people who has survived something like this with very minimal damage to his heart and brain. 

After visiting with him today at the hospital and feeling the love and gratitude from his family and the pain in their hearts when they retold the story of what happened, I am so grateful that he is here today. He has been a true friend to me through the ups and downs and is a light to everyone he meets.

Life is so precious and can be taken away in a second. Cherish every moment with the people you love, always be kind, and take the opportunity to embrace all the lovely something's in your life.

Love you Jarom.
