Oldest Friend

You just never know ..... Just a few days ago my oldest friend told me that he went through a life threatening medical situation a couple of years ago. I had no idea. Shook me up a little. Your oldest friendships from childhood .... well even though I've begun to face and acknowledge my own health realities of late, I guess I just assumed that some things, like our friendship, would go on forever. But by the time one is into their sixty's, most people are dealing with some sort of health challenge. You stop taking life and tomorrow for granted. You're thankful just to wake up feeling good. You realize with each new day, that the odds are increasing that it could be your last day.
