Death

Today I caught up with a friend who had a terminal diagnosis of melanoma which has spread through all his body including his brain. He had a pain in his chest in January and in March after tests the diagnosis was made. He is resolute and 'putting his house in order" in his words.
I listened. I marvelled. I agreed to meet up again in a few weeks 'before I pop my clogs' as J put it.
I give thanks for my health and pray for a good ending of a life well lived, when that time comes.
