B came over Tue. after nuclear meltdown war with Dad re: wedding. Desperately in need of a drink, I whipped up martinis for us both while she downloaded her day. At some point AO was mentioned, which reminded me that I had posted "Death comes unexpectedly" on my office door that morning along with other inspiring quotes. B exclaimed that I was morbid and I countered that death indeed comes unexpectedly and that it would do most people some good to be reminded of that fact so they can do something productive with their time rather than standing at my door and whining about their miserable lives. B found this amusing, although I suspect that was the martini giggling...
At any rate, after encountering a series of sudden and tragic deaths this past year I am constantly aware of how fleeting this life is, how truly precious the time we are given is and how quickly a single heart can stop beating. With every breath we are one step closer to death...
