Life doesn't last forever

Last week a colleague of mine died. She was only 47 years old and, until 2 months ago, she didn't even know (that/optional) she had a serious disease. I'm really sorry; she was a very cheerful woman, and although her life were was very hard, with many troubles... she always had a smile for the people who visited her at the hospital. We usually live as if our lives would will last forever. Yes, sometimes we say that life is short and it is better to live the moment, without postponing things we'd like to do. But how many of us do that? Only when these sad things happen do we remember that and realize how many things that we consider important actually aren't actually. So, let's try to live in the present: it's the only one we really have.

Yes, something like that can really put all the silly nonsense in our lives into perspective....

I totally agree with you.It's so important to appreciate every moment you have in life because none of us know what the future will bring.
