wife's age. My dad died of a brain tumor at age 61.
Sort of shakes one up just a bit. I know it happens everyday, all the
time, but some things just bring death a bit closer to home.
So, we are going to PLAY while we can PLAY! 😄
OK, so..My wife's best friend, close to me too since her husband is my
good friend, passed away ([censored], she died, period) last year at 55. She
had been slightly sick with a lung problem that was being treated at
home with antibiotics. Her useless, drug using (and sick) daughter came
over to bum something and gave a secondary infection to her mother,
which would up killing her within 24 hours. My wife and them used to be
the 4 who imagined playing games and wise cracking into our 80's, but
now we are but 3 and a bit more paranoid. Kathy was healthy and now she
is gone due to a bad twist of fate. Enjoy life while you can and hope
the end comes later and so fast you don't see it coming. Death can only
be postponed, but not avoided, so ride hard and play hard and if you
kill yourself having too much fun at least you can look down from the
everafter and say "That was a good way to end it.".
