Following Wednesday’s news that actress Naya Rivera is missing after a boating trip on Lake Piru with her son, Glee fans are taken note of the poignancy of one of her more recent tweets.

Rivera had shared the tweet on July 2, just six days before her disappearance. At approximately 1 p.m. on Wednesday, she had rented a boat on Lake Piru with her son, Josey. Just three hours later, that boat was found drifting with her son asleep by another boater, who alerted authorities. A search was begun later that evening after Josey told authorities that he and his mother had gone swimming, though she had never made it back to the boat. It is believed that she was not wearing a life vest. That search was suspended at dark and resumed Thursday morning, with teams searching by both air and water.

“..being alive is a blessing, make the most of today and every day you are given. Tomorrow is not promised.”
We know it, but some of us never think like this.
Others of us need no reminders.
Love each other, people.
This tweet is even more pertinent today. Sending love to you, your son and your family at this tragic and heartbreaking time. #nayariveramissing
