As the title says, nothing in life is ever promised besides death. Don't ever take life for granted and continue to thank your loved ones and God for everyday that you are alive. All of these people will be sincerely missed by their family and fans. Looking back at this summer everyone should strive to make a difference and not only try and make an impact in another persons life, but also try and make one in your own. Tomorrows a new day and you can always change while there is still time left. But don't waste a single day, because any day could be your last.
RIP to all we've lost, and hope to not lose anymore.
