Life is too short

I found out today that my next door neighbour passed away yesterday after a stroke. Her husband died back in December and she never got over it. They were a very well-known couple in our village and I even worked for them when I was at school. I saw their son-in-law earlier while out walking and he was saying how life is too short and that we should make the most of the precious time we have. If only he realised how much I needed to hear that today and regain my focus. It is just a shame it accompanies such sad news but at least my neighbours are back together again in heaven.
