Your world can end in the blink of an eye. One event, one unexpected twist of fate, and suddenly the world as you knew it is gone forever. All that you held dear, all that you held close is washed away into the sea of distant memory. Life is cruel. Of this, I have no doubt. But life continues on with, or without you. One can only hope that one leaves behind a lasting legacy. But so often, the legacies that we leave behind are not the ones we intended.
