In Memoriam: Jessica Redfield

I want to start off by thanking Ms. Lacey LeBleu for originally sharing this on her facebook. This has haunted me ever since I read about it last night, and I just thought I'd share this with everyone. Doesn't hurt to have a reminder of how precious life is every once and a while in order to put things in perspective.

Click here to read about Jessica's thoughts on narrowly missing the shooting at a Toronto food court. Driven by a gut feeling, Jessica left the mall seconds before a gunman opened fire in the location where she had eaten minutes before. She survived to tell about this only to be tragically killed in the Aurora, CO theater shooting a mere month and a half later.

As Jessica so perfectly put it, you really never know when your time is going to come, and it's up to us to squeeze every ounce of life we can out of the time we have and to savour every moment, no matter how mundane it may seem.
