Well, it's been a sad morning to wake up to. First to find out a long time friend has passed away from cancer. He was dh's first and last employee. I think he worked for dh for probably 15 years or more. His wife just passed away about a month ago and now him. They were salt of the earth people and I have many fond memories of the both of them. My heart goes out to their 3 daughters and their families.
Then at 7am dh's phone started ringing. Never good to have your phone ringing that early in the morning. It's never good news. It was dh's best friend. He just found out his brother died earlier this morning at age 58. This guy was the one who we had haul our trailer full of most all our stuff when we moved. He was quite a character. Lived to drive his truck. I'm glad we got a chance to see him again last summer when we went to friends 60th birthday party in Texas.
Maybe this will be a bit of a wake up call to dh to stop his constant complaining and try to enjoy life some. Because we're all headed for the end at some point, hopefully later than sooner, and it's stupid to spend it bitching about everything.
My condolences on the losses. Life is indeed too short, and I hope the families can be comforted with all the memories they have.
ReplyDeleteI think the friend with 3 daughters are close, so that is a good thing.
DeleteThis is a day that you'll be glad to see finished!
ReplyDeleteIt was :(
DeleteSo sorry about your friends. May them both rest in Peace.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much.
DeleteI'm sorry for the loss of your friends. It is or should be a wake up call, yet how many of us heed them?
ReplyDeleteSadly most of us do not heed them. I do my best to be mindful that life is short
Delete58 seems awfully young to be dying, doesn't it! And how awful for that family to lose mom and dad in the space of a month! My condolences!
ReplyDeleteI know -their girls are adults, but still way too young to lose both their parents already.
DeleteI am so sorry about his friend and wife. Maybe your husband can find happiness every day while his friend cannot.
ReplyDeleteI hope so.
DeleteThat is so sad. News such as this takes time to digest. Hard to wrap your head around the fact that they are gone. Live life to the fullest. You never know when your day will come.
ReplyDeleteexactly, that way you have no regrets when your time comes.
DeleteI can only say, wow. Reading this makes me think of my own mortality. Carpe diem! Live life!
ReplyDeleteAgreed!
