Death

The fact is, the older we get, the more death we see. The more friends we lose, the more we understand how much it hurts to say goodbye. It starts to become a rare year that isn't touched by death in some form or fashion. Last week an acquaintance of mine passed away after battling cancer like a soldier. Our contact ebbed and flowed, but I needed to pay respects to the family. Yesterday, my daughter's dance instructor's mother unexpectedly passed. Her teacher is a sweet girl and it pains me to know what their family is going through. A faithful husband now alone, with many years ahead of him more than likely. I look forward to the day death loses it's sting.
