"Live, laugh, love because you never know
when you're gonna die."
Len Bias

Len Bias' story is very tragic. I went to high school with
him. He was an awesomely talented basketball player. He
got a scholarship to the University of Maryland where
he continued to play awesome basketball. On the night
he got drafted by the Boston Celtics as a top pick
AND signed a HUGE endorsement deal with Reebok he decided
to celebrate. Him and some friends smoked crack. Len
didn't stand a chance. The crack caused him to have a
massive heart attack. He died that night. He lived to
see his dreams come true only to have his life snatched
away before he could live them. In an ironic twist of
fate Len's brother, another talented basketball player,
got shot to death after having an arguement at the
local shopping mall. He was poised to follow his
brother's footsteps into college and then on to
the NBA. Some punk with a bad temper and a gun
took his life before he even had a chance to live
his dreams. The above quote is apparently the
Bias family motto. The family told each other
the above quote frequently.

This made me reflect and just stop and pray a prayer of thanks for all the little things and for family and friends.

What a great quote. It is true. Love who loves you with passion xxx
