It just happened to a close friend of mine in his early fifties. We had a college reunion a few months ago. He was the life of the party all weekend. As far as anyone knows, he was healthy. A few days later, he was gone. He had more fun than anybody has a right to...but at least he went out on top :)
Thank you. I feel fortunate to have had such a good friend. I'm with you, I give thanks every day also. As the song goes, "Every day above ground is a good day!"
Yes we did, thank you Octavia_Melody, I really appreciate it. We've been friends since we were kids. Wherever he went, a party was soon to follow. The one thing I learned from him is to extract the joy each day, as you never know what tomorrow will bring and not to wait for "some day."
