if anything, most of us have to connect even closer to our lives; we are needed then more than ever...

I have a wife and a son who each have a very serious form of cancer. It turns your world upside down in a real hurry. Priorities change immediately.
You’re right.
I remember as a kid thinking in the limo on the way to my old man’s funeral that all the cars driving by didn’t give a sh.t that he died :)
They didn’t close the city for the day. The president didn’t give a speech. No memorials :)
Life GOES ON no matter what happens and no matter who dies.
It’s just a cold, hard fact.
You don’t get to drop out of life.
In 2006, my Dad was diagnosed with advanced lung cancer in May. Mom (we think) had a couple of strokes in June and from then was only physically there. Dad passed in August, Mom just before Christmas.
Thank God I had my work for the Navy in which to immerse myself. Kept me busy and SANE.
