The End of a Life


Life is uncertain, whether you're in your prime or have entered the Golden Years. We need to live every day to the fullest and accept every opportunity as it is presented---hug your loved ones, smell a flower, watch a sunset. Forget the insignificant irritations that arise every day. They don't matter. Our 52-year-old neighbor was found dead this morning. The cause of death is not important. As far as I'm concerned, he died of a broken heart. His wife suddenly passed away last Fall and he could not function without her. It is imperative that each couple share the details of daily living; know your financial situation, the location of important papers, phone numbers, insurance policies, etc. Don't let yourself be in a lost, vulnerable position. Grief can kill you. So long, Stevie, I hope Dot met you with open arms and you've finally found peace.
