I am trying to think of something to say but what’s uppermost is to send a big virtual hug and remind you we are here .
We all share this fear of our own mortality especially when we lose someone in our circle . It brings to the surface emotions not far below.We can’t live our lives in fear but we can exercise some caution in how we choose to live it.
I watch as our 77 year old neighbor returns from funerals having lost yet another friend. That is part of the ageing process and difficult but to lose someone younger seems to add a greater poignancy .
All we can do is remember the importance of the day and be grateful we have it. My daily walk goes past our hospital where a friend was in palliative care last December and not a day goes by when I don’t think how much she would have given for one more day.
None of us knows what the future holds but we are the lucky ones - we have that day.
