A Passing

My dear friend passed away today. She'd found out only 2 weeks ago that she had pancreatic cancer and she had to make her peace with the world and say her goodbyes in that short time. At my age I'll probably lose many more friends, some lifelong, before I say my last goodbyes. Each loss will make me feel as though my life is disintegrating. Death is so damn permanent!

I'm feeling very melancholy today and want to pass on a small word of wisdom. Money doesn't matter. Possessions don't matter. Position doesn't matter. Treasure your family and real friends because that is the only thing that matters in the end.
