Literally twelve months ago a vibrant lady looking years younger than her age was the picture of health. She ate right and exercised regularly. Today she is in a hospice with very little time left on this earth.
It is so disturbing to see how our bodies can turn against us and take our lives away with little warning. This lady had some stomach discomfort which turned out to be lymphoma plus leukemia and both diseases proved too deadly for her to fight back.
We're all feeling terribly vulnerable because, if she could be struck down like this, then the rest of us are all on borrowed time. Of course we know our days are all numbered but our egos blind us to imminent danger and death. It will happen to someone else, not us. But it can.
I've watched way too many people succumb to cancer in the past few years, people who I'll always remember when they were vital and healthy. I hope they're all over on the other side now and enjoying another phase of life.
