POST # 456
It is so easy in this day and age, to get caught up in the almost endless stream of news items that occupy our daily existence. As a result, we can lose sight of what is really important. Like for instance, life itself.
This fact was brought home on Tuesday of this week, when Mary received the news that her dear friend of many decades, died that morning. This news wasn't unexpected, as Christine had been ill for quite some time, but losing someone close to you is always difficult.
I too had come to know and like Christine and her husband John over the years. And now we are all faced with a future without her presence, but not without good memories of Christine. It would be difficult to find a more kind individual.
So life became even more precious this week, at least through my eyes. We continue to live as best we can, and try and appreciate the moments along the way. Perhaps we can borrow a page from Christine's playbook, and all try to be a little bit more kind to one another.
So today, I am even more...
grateful for every breath,
Paul
