A wake up call.

 We received some sad news a few weeks ago, husband M's long time friend from university days passed away suddenly at the beginning of the month.  He and his wife had retired out west to British Columbia just 3 years ago.  He was only 64.  It was heart failure diagnosed only a year after they had moved to be closer to their 3 adult daughters.  It is a shock and a wake up call on how short life is.

Definitely, a wakeup call. Sometimes, I worry that those checkups don't find everything going on with us like you think at the doctors office. Yes, life is short.

I'm so very sorry for his loss, heartfelt condolences to his family. We ourselves are getting to an age where this is happening more often than we would like. Makes us feel every day is a blessing.
