Never waste a moment

I was talking via email to a friend who was fishing off the coast of Miami. I was working at my desk, he was fishing. I was irritated. He would send pictures and I would get more irritated : ) After one of the pictures he said this

‘I hung a chart and a picture like this in my office 10 years ago as I was going through my chemo, I swore that if I survived I would never waste a moment’

His comment resinated with me. He learned the hard way. He is a survivor and he is a fighter. A fighter not for himself but a fighter for others. He is amazing.

Since I haven’t photographed him or the people and things that mean the most to him, I asked him to send me some pics. He sent me the pics and I sent him the collage.

Never waste a moment…. I couldn’t get that out of my mind.
