The frailty of life

Day 680 - I went today to visit a friend that is sitting "Shiva" after the untimely death of her younger sister. It puts everything in perspective, the frailty of life and how temporary they are. My heart went out to this young family a very young man with 3 small orphans, an eight months baby that will never know her mother. We all have to face our death but 31 years old is way too young to die and especially at the most exciting time of their life and suddenly its all gone.

I am thankful for the gift of life; we should never take it for granted. I am thankful for everyday I go to sleep and wake up the next morning. And yet I am so sad for the devastation I saw today.
