Luke Lives On
TODAY'S BLOG IS DEDICATED TO LUKAS DUNPHY......
I DON'T KNOW LUKE BUT HEARD ABOUT HIS STORY AND IT TOUCHED ME IN SUCH A
WAY THAT MOVED ME TO DEDICATE TODAY'S BLOG TO HIS MEMORY.
ON FRIDAY, JULY 18TH 2008 AROUND 2:30 PM LUKE WAS KILLED IN A MOTORCYCLE
ACCIDENT. RIDING MOTORCYCLES WAS A HOBBY AND A LOVE OF HIS.
PRIOR TO HIS PASSING LUKE HAD LEARNED OF A GIRL IN NEED OF A KIDNEY.
ON JULY 15, 2008 LUKE WENT TO THE UCLA MEDICAL CENTER TO BEGIN THE
PAPERWORK PROCESS OF BECOMING A DONOR. THREE DAYS LATER HE PASSED.
AS TRAGIC AS HIS ENDING IS......IT IS ALSO A BLESSING TO KNOW THAT IN HIS
DEATH HE WAS ABLE TO GIVE LIFE!
In addition to his kidneys- other organs were also donated.
HIS FAMILY HAS CREATED A WEBSITE (www.lukeliveson.com) FOR HIS LOVED ONES
TO VISIT. HERE THEY CAN VIEW PICTURES OF LUKE IN ALL PHASES OF HIS LIFE
AND IN HIS HAPPIEST MOMENTS. MESSAGES, WELL WISHES, THOUGHTS AND
PRAYERS CAN ALSO BE POSTED. I DIDN'T KNOW LUKE BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO
KNOW SOMEONE PERSONALLY TO BE AFFECTED BY THIER LIFE OR THIER STORY.
HIS DEATH IS JUST A REMINDER THAT WE MUST EMBRACE LIFE, HAVE FUN
EVERYDAY AND MAKE YOUR MOMENTS MATTER AS MUCH AS YOU CAN.
LAUGH, SMILE, PLAY, BE ADVENTUROUS, TAKE RISKS, HUG SOMEONE, TELL
SOMEONE WHAT YOU REALLY FEEL, LIVE LIFE TO THE FULLEST...........
IF YOU WANT TO LEAVE YOUR THOUGHTS AND/OR PRAYERS TO THE FAMILY
AND LOVED ONES OF LUKE- visit www.lukeliveson.com AND LEAVE YOUR FOOTPRINTS.
THANK YOU!

UNTITLED
You see....
I'm in a situation
And crazy as it seems
And hard as I try
I can't walk away
I simply can't walk away
Call it guilt
Call it a matter of convenience
Call it and me what you will
But I just can't walk away
For you see
There is someone with whom I share my bed
But not my heart
Don't get it twisted....he loves me
And I love him
In my own way
Which is not the way he wishes to be
But his wishes seem pure fantasy to me
A dream that will never play into reality
At least not for me
How do you lay with one you don't love
Knowing that what you'd love is to be anywhere
Somewhere....just not here
How do you pretend to love
Knowing that it is a lie
Not the way love should feel
Deep and passionate....spiritual and strong
Not forced and mechanical where it all seems so wrong
ECHOES...ECHOES....echoes of emptiness
Inside a hollow heart...tearing apart
At the seams of shallowness
When will this all end
As I wonder how it all began?
