Searching for people and strength

I have been searching for people from my high school on Facebook.  Graham Cooke who is Canadian and would be about 29 or 30 today, K.C. Fellows (Kelly Christian) again my age.   Kyle W who was a gaming buddy.

      But I guess God lets people drift through our lives when we need them and out when we have learned everything we can from them.  He leaves it to our free will, but helps us heal when we leave a bad or poisonous relationship.  Most of the people you meet that have a profound impact on your life, you will never see again.  I know for a fact that I will never see Hope again, she saved my life once, at 11 I came very close to drowning in a river that we were tubing in A guy saved me by swimming under the water in the rushing current and yanking me up because I was about to get caught under a log. Which would have meant a certain death.  I can't even remember his name, and I owe him my life.    I have been saved from death so many times and then I saved myself.  But I don't consider myself very lucky or unlucky or even exceptional.  I think it is normal for this fragile life to almost be taken away from us and for people to haul us back from the brink. 

    I like to believe that death will stop trying to take me for a little while.  Because I am proving to be a tough cookie.
