I:m afraid there are to diffinates in life, the first one being that we are born, the second one being that we will die..how we live inbetween those 2 diffinates is not guarenteed...we can only do the best with what we have...I know its hard when we lose loved ones..we feel as if part of us has died with them...but it hasn't...part of us was changed by having known them so try and celebrate that...I lost a dear friend 3 yrs ago...she was 52...I think of her and smile and remember how I felt in her presence...it was her time to go...who am I to deny her that?

Take care.
