I just lost two close relatives who were also friends today. We grew up as kids and they were about a year or two older than me. I’ve always been aware of death and accept it but when stuff like this happens, it’s a really strong reminder of how we’re all moving along in the line towards the end.
This thought comes to me alot: my mum passed relatively early and my grandfather shortly after that.
I’d not want either to have had to experience what this world has become
