Life can be like a castle of sand; built tall and sturdy and all it takes is one wave and it is over. Yes it can be rebuilt, but not the same. I was walking on Biloxi beach yesterday on the Gulf Coast of Mississippi, and occasionally I would come across a bed of barnacle incrusted bricks. It took me a moment to realize that these were what remains of the businesses that once lined Beach Boulevard in Gulfport and Biloxi … all hat remains six years after Hurricane Katrina completely washed them away like they were a tiny sand castle on the beach.

oh,isn't that so true... life as we know it can be gone in an instant - whether it's Mother Nature, an accident, a heart attack etc. or the actions of another...
Hard to believe Katrina was six years ago! I know all about the brevity of life - we lost our Golden Retriever yesterday. The pain is palpable!
