Mortality
Today I learned of the death of a high school friend. I haven't seen Steve in these many years. He died after a routine ankle surgery. Nothing too major, and yet death came. It makes you stop and think. A person who was athletic and in good shape -- back then and assumedly today. And yet death took him.
It just goes to show you that life can be short. As they say make the most of the time you have. Don't put off until tomorrow what needs doing today. At least that's what they say. I guess I'll put off many things, but this is a reminder to treasure the moments -- especially with family.
This summer is our 30 year reunion. We're in our late 40's. We're still young, with lots of years ahead -- but maybe not.
