Shocked and a little saddened to read of the passing of someone I didn't know. A person I wasn't actual friends with. A television personality who made a connection of sorts through humor and beauty and who silently vanished from sight over a year ago. Today I read of her passing away just a few days ago. Kinda funny (as in strange), this feeling of loss for someone thousands of miles away and who I had no real physical connection to. I had no idea of what she was going through. Reading about it is frightening. Wondering what the final year for her was like?
Maybe the worst way to go. Aware of your condition and wishing you could slow down the progression but gradually and relatively quickly fading away.
Some people just appear so full of life and passion and appear as if they could go on forever and when that life suddenly ends it's a little difficult to comprehend. Like the news must be mistaken.
Part of it all is the realization that I'm at an age where I accept that nothing is certain and where I occasionally wonder if I'll still be around a year from now.
