Another day, more sad news :'(
A friend of mine, who appeared to be winning his battle with a serious illness, has been taken away overnight last night :'(
He was 39 years old and leaves behind a wife, children and a very close family :'(
Another sad day in the world and a very blunt reminder that our time on this sublunary abode is too short :'(
-
A sad day indeed LD.... :'( We never know what's in store for us, and for many that's just as well..... :(
-
My condolences for your loss LD

Sorry to hear that LD, the grim reaper has a habit of calling at unexpected times.

Brings the memories of losing a very close friend 14 months ago flooding back to the surface... I still can't bring myself to remove his details from my address book :'(

Sorry to here this Paul, it seems you can never tell when your time is up.
I heard today of someone I know, through work, a client's parent not a colleague, passed away on Monday, he was a couple of years younger than me with a similar but less serious medical condition than myself, which strongly reminded me of my own vulnerability...... :( :(

Sorry for your loss Paul, reminds us of the fragility of life :'(

There are many way in which we look upon such sad events and each will have their own - whether or not we progress in some form after we make the transition from life to death is a matter for debate but the following provides some inspiration for me, and perhaps for you;
I am standing on the sea shore. A ship sails in the morning breeze and starts for the ocean. She is an object of beauty and I stand watching her till at last she fades on the horizon and someone at my side says:
"She is gone."
Gone! Where?
Gone from my sight - that is all.
She is just as large in the masts, hull and spars as she was when I saw her
and just as able to bear her load of living freight to its destination. The diminished size and total loss of sight is in me, not in her.
And just at the moment when someone at my side says, “She is gone", there are others who are watching her coming, and other voices take up a glad shout: "There she comes"
And that is dying. An horizon and just the limit of our sight.
Lift us up, Oh Lord, that we may see further.

Yep, well aware of that. Fortunately my problems aren't life threatening and for that I'm grateful ;)

Very sorry to hear about your sad loss, when someone passes away it is never easy, but I have always found it much, much worse when they are young, you have my sincere sympathies.

After reading Den's post, it reminded me of this one... Mrs Loo-knee bought a Glass Vase, which she has had this Poem etched upon.... then on the Anniversary of a Loved ones death, a candle burns in it for that day :'(
If Tears Could Build A Stairway
If tears could build a stairway
and thoughts a memory lane
I'd walk right up to heaven
and bring you home again
No Farewell words were spoken
No time to say good-bye
You were gone before I knew it
And only God knows why.
My heart's still active in sadness
And secret tears still flow
What it meant to lose you
No one can ever know.
But now I know you want us
To mourn for you no more
To remember all the happy times
Life still has much in store.
Since you'll never be forgotten
I pledge to you today
A hallowed place within my heart
Is where you'll always stay.
God knows why, with chilling touch,
Death gathers those we love so much,
And what now seems so strange and dim,
Will all be clear, when we meet Him.
I Knew you for a Moment
-
Really sorry to hear this. 39 is no age at all. :(

Makes you reflect on life as a whole when this happens.
Sorry for your loss Paul
Thoughts with you and his family :( :(

Just welled up agian Paul. I lost two friends when we were in our late twenties/early thirties. One male, Mick & one female, Lizzie. We all attended both services & what was worst was seeing the parents grieve, they should'nt have to see thier kids off.
Still missing my Mum badly.
