Life and Death - a brief note
I learned last night that an acquaintance passed away suddenly. I’ve offered my condolences elsewhere, and I don’t want to cheapen the grief of those who knew him better, so I won’t dwell on him except to say he was someone that I liked and respected, and I wish I’d had a chance to know him better.
He was thirty years old. I’m thirty-four.
He was engaged. Today is my fourth wedding anniversary.
So I can’t help thinking: if it had been me, then I would have missed out on the best part of my life, the only part that’s had any real meaning.
Savor every moment. Even the terrible ones. Even the boring ones.
I love you all. Even the ones of you I don’t particularly like.
Belinda, thank you for the best days I’ll ever have. I love you most of all.
