Buzz Kill

I was all ready to write a quick review and comparison of my new phone to old phone, but, something happened.

Somebody I have been following on Twitter for almost a year now, has been going through a very trying situation. His younger brother has been suffering, from what I gather to be, terminal cancer. I'm not exactly sure of the young mans age, but I know he is high school age.

The person I follow on Twitter is a very religious person, and calls upon his faith to bring strength for himself and family at this time. I am not a very religious person, but I understand where he is coming from. At times like this, where you can no longer get help from a "physical being", you have to search elsewhere for answers and help.

I lost my dad to cancer, and I can't even imagine losing my younger sister to the same disease. After reading through his recent Tweets, it appears that the young man may not be with us too much longer. Clergy have been in and out of the hospital room, saying prayers for the boy. My friend is spending the night with him sleeping in a chair beside his hospital bed.

Take today and truly appreciate the people around you. Put the iPhone, and laptop down for a second, turn off the HD Tv, and give your loved ones a good old fashioned squeeze. And when they ask, "what was that for?" You can tell them, "No reason, Mikey thought it to be a good idea".

Ill give you a review of the iPhones in the next couple of days.

Be well my friends.

Don't take anything for granted.
