Up until 6pm it was a normal boring Saturday, then we heard the news that a mate which we only knew through Fb had taken his own life at the age of 47. At 6.15pm we had a call that another friend had passed away this one we expected as he came home on Thursday (cancer) he again was only 52.
We have just been talking between ourselves and since we retired 2 years ago,we have been to 9 funerals. Out of these only 2 were older than us. It puts life into perspective.
Everyone will leave this earth sometime, we just don't know when.
