In my day job I come across all sorts of ways the human race decides to stop participating in the experiment called life. Saturday I did a vehicle inspection on two vehicle from an accident where the passenger of a Tacoma was crushed by a 3500 dodge cummins. The week before was an elderly man who fell outside and froze (had been drinking). OD's, suicides (guns, pills, ropes and 1 jumped off a bridge) and multiple car crashes all of which don't phase me much but that brings me to the main part of the story...
A couple of days before Christmas my mom's boyfried of 10 years couldn't shake a cold he had. After a weird leg convulsion he went to the hospital. Pneumonia they said. 2 day stay with antibiotics then back home. Just before the new year he's no better. Back to the ER and more test, another weird seizure and they finally figure out on Thursday he has stage 4 lung cancer which has mastisized into his brain. We all get the news at 2pm and then by 7pm he has passed away. For some reason I can't wrap my brain around the fact that it happened so quickly and there was barely any symptoms. He was 64 (8 years younger than my Mom).
So wake up and enjoy the morning sun, enjoy your messy work shops (or OCD neat ones if that's your gig) maybe call your buddy you just haven't had time to get around to doing and contemplate the very short amount of time we get to contribute to the experiment called life.
