last week a friend of ours died of a heart attack, aged only 45.
he left behind two children, friends of my son, aged only 7 and 11.
Things like that really make you re-evaluate your life and look at what is really important. Nobody ever looks back on their life and says "gee I wish I spent more time at the office". Money means nothing when you are dead.
So the only words I have today are these:
If there is something you have wanted to do, but have been putting it off for "the right time", that time is now. Take a risk, jump in headfirst. Because you never know what tomorrow holds.
How terrible :(
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry about your friend. Very sad.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the advice, it is so true.
Thanks for the perspective. You're right - nobody remembers the late nights at the office, but they do remember the good times with family and friends.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry about your friend.
:( That's awful. I live every day like tommorow might not happen. It's the only way to be. Take pleasure in the little things.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry for your loss.
ReplyDeleteI have had two friends loose their spouses at a young age and it really does make you step back and re-evaluate your life.

Yeah, we have a friend whom lost her partner (whom was only early 20's) to a massive asthma attack. They had a one year old daughter.
ReplyDeleteIt definitely made us re-evaluate a few things. We went out the next day and applied for life insurance.
Thinking of you.
