Such is Life



I got this Swedish milk chocolate bar from Ikea recently, it is a large bar and very delicious.

Earlier this week, I was at my dentist for a checkup and cleaning. Thankfully it was a good one. He was telling me that a patient died of a stroke recently. The 60 year old man woke up one morning and told his wife that he wasn't feeling well. He lay down again and went into a coma and died 2 days later. It was a shock because they could remember him coming in not too long ago laughing and cheerful. He had 6 grandchildren and life was good. It's not a bad way to go, although 60 years old seems like a relatively short time these days. Such is life.

That is really tragic, Christine. His family must be in shock. He died much too early.

I always like to try out their candies at IKEA - most have been a nice surprise. We should enjoy the candy and all of life each and every day because we never now which day will be our last.

60 is very young to go. But I'd rather go out 'his way' than linger with terrible symptoms...

I agree, 60 is way too young. I "plan" on living well past 100! At least I hope so, as long as it's not to painful! :)
