The next decade....what's in store?

And just like that, he died....

Here today, gone tomorrow. That's how it was with John....

If I were leaving work too late, I would take one of the hotel's taxi drivers home. John was the last one I took. That night when I called him to come for me, he said he had just turned into his driveway and had not yet come out of the car so it was good timing. I can't remember what we spoke about on the way home. Could have been the Bob Marley music playing on the radio.

The next day when I called him, there was no answer. His lady friend called back to say she was with him in the Casualty department, and he would be moved to the Surgical ward. Illness is private, so I didn't pry. Just told her to tell him get well soon.

Five days later he was dead. Gone. Just like that.

Live your life and live it well, and don't malice people, and don't have wicked intentions towards them, because just like John, you could be gone in a flash. What is the lasting impression that you would like the people you knew to have of you? Think on these things.
