Retrospect - Intraspect and Futurespect

On the 21st of this month, a dear friend was laid to rest.
The thing that has caused so much thought on my part and in my home, is he was only 40 years old. He and his sweet wife were just about to celebrate their 5th wedding anniversary, had just bought a house and he was helping his mother with his father's estate. His father was buried on July 19th.
For such a young, vibrant, cheerful and community mindful person to leave us, in fact, leaves a big hole.
For his family to have to endure such pain, is hard to imagine.
Life goes on as it must but sometimes life and death throws us those curves balls that hit us smack in the head. So whether it is thought, dizziness or whatever; I know that in my dear friend's memory, I must strive "To Do My Best", to "Be Prepared" and live my life to its fullest.
