From

my buddy's soon to be wife who works as a nurse treating critically ill heart attack patients. 

She was on call last night and got called in.

"Life can change in a heartbeat. Acknowledge and appreciate life and those around you. Live with no regrets. Say what needs to be said with transparency. Express your feelings and share them. 

Let loved ones know you love them. Live your prayers through actions. My pager was silent from midnight on. 2014 faded away as 2015 slipped quietly in."
