It happens! I have lost a lot of friends over the years, accidents, war, suicide and a few due to illness. I remain to turn off the light.
Keep this in mind "we are all living just to die" that's the way it is.

Same here, the older i get the more the numbers ramp up. Its a constant reminder of our mortality.

I feel bad for you man. Losing family members and good friends is not easy. I still think of my good friend Scott a fair amount. Been 12 years…

I went out to lunch with a friend today and we discussed mortality. The years seem to fly by so fast and we are probably 3/4 to 4/5 of the way thru our lives already.

I wish my grandparents had lived longer, but they smoked for 50 years. I was just talking about my grandmother today from my dad's side being that it's almost Veterans Day, she grew up in the desert in Southern California (Hemet) and flew new planes in the war from the Douglas factory in Long Beach out to the war fronts.

Keep this in mind "we are all living just to die" and pay taxes. That's the way it is.
Sorry you are on this same, additional Loss Streak Adam. Death to friends & relatives come in bunches sometimes.

That is awesome ^^^^^^^

A accomplished lady who did amazing things in her life. A great picture here too.

Remember man…. Your grandparents lived the way they wanted to. And I’d much rather they have smoked 50 years vs drinking a lot of alcohol for any amount of time.

My good friend Matt died at 41 in 2000. He had been Type 1 diabetic since about 18 months old.

I saw an obit for his dad, Lou, just a couple of weeks ago. Lou was 92 or 93. We're it possible, I'm sure he would have gladly given decades of his own life to Matt.
