This last weekend Paul, Dan, Spencer and I headed down to Little Sahara. As you come into the park the first sign that you see is this one to the left. It is supposed to be a vivid reminder of the dangers of riding and playing in the sand dunes. When we arrived Friday night that number was 4. Ambulances and police were passing us on our way to the dunes. We thought someone had cased it off a dune or rolled down the hill.
It turns out it was the 12 year old trapped in his sand cave. My heart goes out to the family and the struggle that awaits them. In the last month two very big role models of mine have passed. It is a hard thing to watch a family go through, knowing that no matter how much you are there or what you say there is only so much you can do.
Life is Precious. Time is the one gift that once it is gone we can never get back. Once the day is over its etched in stone. Make the most of it.
