Death is necessary to remind us of how precious life is. Death is necessary to slow us down from our fast daily life and make us appreciate all that is in front of us. Death is necessary to remind us to enjoy life and spend more time with our family and friends. _ Death is necessary to make us forget what we are mad or arguing about and make us hold hands and express our love for each other. Death is necessary to remind us that life is not everlasting. That we need to live it to the fullest without allowing anything to stop us from accomplishing our goals and dreams. Death is necessary to stop us from putting off what we need today for tomorrow. Death is necessary to stop our loved ones from suffering in pain, so that their spirit can live in God's kingdom in peace. Death is necessary to feel sad because we miss our loved ones. But, with sadness, we begin to smile and remember the good times we had together. Remember their laughter, their words of wisdom, their dislikes, their special cologne or perfume, their unique style of clothing, their funny walk or hand gestures -- Ce and even their special sleeping position. But most of all, Death is necessary to remind us to express our love to our family and friends everyday before it's toolate.
