Condolences. Great advice for all of us. I personally make it a point to never leave the house without kissing the wife and son good bye, even if we are fighting. Likewise, the same holds true for going to sleep.
Thank you the reminder!

Sorry to hear, HiYo, fellow Yorktown'er.
My best friend's (22 years old) father passed away from cancer just a week ago today. The last few weeks have not been easy.
I wish you the best and the family of your friend condolences.

lost my mom 3 years ago (i'm 27 now, she was 50 then) and my grandma last year (a second mother to me) -- it's tough and something you will never get over. few weeks ago i walked thru the grocery store isle and i saw the cookies that my mom used to buy me and it brought tears to my eyes...it's still the last thing i think about before i go to sleep and the first thing i think about when i wake up...they are still with me though, when i mess up, i just think of what mom or grandma would say and it keeps me goin...my thoughts are with you pal...i've tried to make my life better in their honor and that philosphy has worked out well for me...those great ladies are still watchin over me.... hang in there, life does go on....on a silly note, not that it will make you feel better, but bums used to tatoo "born to die" on themselves

Sometimes we take for granted the most precious thing that God has given to us. Time. My prayers and sympathies to you and your friend's family. Sudden loses are always the hardest to understand. :blueangel:

Re: Off topic but very important (hiyosilver)
I'm sorry for the events that have taken place for you. For the last year and a half death has been on my mine a lot.
Last year as we were shoving snow my neigbor had a heart attack and I was helpless to watch his life slip away. Several months later in Aug. my 13 year old son died unexpectly :sad: . The month after that the twin towers got hit 9/11.
The next month my friend that I walk with during lunch hour for the last 6 years died of a blood clot. My grandmother died first part of this year.
My brother is next, they say he will live for 2 min. or 2 years, but I think he will be going soon.
I know I'm rambling but needed to get it off my chess again.
