I’m feeling really out of sorts right now. We found out earlier this week very dear friend of 39 years passed away unexpectedly and suddenly. Bob and Nancy we’re at a 45th wedding anniversary party just six weeks ago. Bob was that a dude ranch in Wyoming with his son-in-law‘s and grandson to celebrate his 70th birthday. He had a massive heart attack right in front of his grandson. His one son-in-law is a paramedic firefighter and a lieutenant on the fire department. There was absolutely nothing he could do. There was no defibrillator and medical help with at least an hour and a half away.
Please never take life for granted because it can be taken away in a heartbeat. Hug your love ones tell them how much they mean to you. Make the time to get together with family and your friends. Don’t keep on putting it off. Tell them how much they mean to you.
I spoke with Bob’s wife Nancy yesterday. We are both in tears before our conversation ended. She reminded me, “ Bob is in a much better place right now.”
The one thing that I’m not sure I can do is go to his funeral services. They are delayed because they had to do an autopsy and transport his body back. I’m not sure how others handle emotional things like this. I get so emotional I can’t stop crying when I go to funerals. As my Parkinson’s progresses it’s hard for me to keep highly emotional things in check. I know Nancy will understand if they choose not to go. Does anyone else have the same problem?
