So it goes

 We are only assured of the here and now...today...not tomorrow. 

Like I said so it goes.  

I have a cousin who has lived in Alaska for many years.  She died recently, she was 68 years old.  She had bypass surgery and was released from the hospital, was in the car ready to go home when she said "something was not right" her husband took her into the ER immediately and she died shortly after.   

I am happy that I mailed her two packets of old photos of her family...she sent me some very nice thank you cards.   She loved her life and family in Alaska.

Old photo taken about 1959...me, my baby brother and our cousin Diane.  ( Her mom and my mom were sisters)

  2. My sympathies on the passing of your cousin, she was far too young. I'm sure the photos brought back happy memories for her.

  3. So sad. I wish she would have lived, but I guess her number was up. We don't know when, but we know that eventually we will all join her.

  4. Yikes. Sometimes I wonder if patients aren't released way too soon to cut costs for insurance and the hospitals.
    I'm so sorry for your loss. Such a young age too.
