Born to die

[chant_1]

We come into this world already stamped with an expiration date. Our first breaths, our first squall of resentment, mark the start of our unwinding. Does that seem morbid? Perhaps; and yet it’s true

Wow, this is beautiful. Sad, but beautiful in its profound truth. And it couldn't come at a better time for me personally. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Hope all goes well for you and yours.

Thanks, Jen. I hope that things go well for you, as well, if you find this timely.

I have a bad feeling that I am missing some important piece of information here that I should remember vis a vis your family life right now. Sitting vigils sounds difficult, testing.

*HUGS*

I don't know what else to say right now. I am thinking of you.

Nothing to remember - it just happened. Dad had a 2nd heart attack yesterday. Am driving out to PA after work this morning to see him. Thank you for the hugs and the thoughts...they are needed, and welcome. : )

Life and death walk hand in hand -- but as my mom says (and as I believe), they are not opposites. Birth and death are the opposites (the bookends)...life goes on.
