Last night I received a phone call that I would not wish upon anyone. My 14 year old niece had a cardiac arrest while doing one of her favorite things, running. She passed with her family at her bedside shortly thereafter. Megan was a straight A student with a winning attitude and an extremely supportive family environment. I have countless memories of the summers she spent with us. She had a love of animals, the outdoors, cooking and family. When her older brother reached 6’3” and realized he could not fit in the GT40 he reluctantly passed his status as heir apparent to her.
We all encounter situations in life that test us. This is not the first time and surely will not be the last. A post of this nature is counter to my stoic Scottish roots. This community is very supportive and provides me with a venue to share and exchange information and acquire an occasional laugh. George Bernard Shaw wrote “The joy in life is to be used for a purpose.” I ask you all to do one thing, take a minute to think about those that are close to you and how they impact your life. Communicate this to them.
It is a tragic loss but the memories will remain forever.
