Yes, a person who goes out to mow the lawn for the upteenth time in his life, doesn't expect to keel over and die in the middle of such activity. Makes us all realize that life is transitory, and when it's your time...man, the Grim Reaper's comin' for ya.

Isn't that the truth? A few years back we got a shocking call. My cousin and her family were out of state, some sort of sports finals in another state. Maybe soccer. Her husband coached the team. He's in his late 30's and up and keels over and dies there on the field in the middle of his son's game.

My sympathies on your loss. It's sobering to think about the relatively short space of life that is alloted to humankind. On the other hand, good news -- more people are living to the age of 100 than ever before. Guess it largely depends on who you choose as your parents. (smile)
