When Death comes knocking..............



Yes this really sounds sad and depressing.  And I apologise in advance 

.but when we hear that someone has passed away, it stirs many emotions...grief..hopelessness... and theres more ....devastating....scary....lonely..numb ( sometimes we dont really know how we feel ?..how should we feel ? )..but ..all these things and many more..

But if theres one things that s for sure...its that it is going to affect us all at one time or another during our lifetime.....

Because a heart has stopped beating....

What I have learnt from my job over the last 14 months is that life is very special....and very short...( even if we are lucky enought to live til we are 100 !!! )   ask any 100 plus 

Most will tell you that their life has fled past and that 21 seemed only yesterday....

For a lot of people life is a lot lot shorter ( unfortunatley )

most through no fault of their own are snatched away in their prime...... ( some through abuse and ignorance )

Yes we could say well its their own fault....they should of done this or they shouldnt of done that....but we dont know their situation....the whys or whos

If there is a positive side to someone dying... it has to be a reminder to the rest of us that life is for living...

look around...the beauty that sorrounds us.... enjoy the experience ...make the memories....count your blessings   And theres more......

THANK THE LORD......

.Its a gift.....Embrace it

1m 89 how did that happen

There are some wonderful old people out there......and i'm sure most of them are wondering 
'how the hell did i get to be this age '




they all have some wonderful stories to tell...with most of them going through at least one World War !!
and if you ask them , most of them will be happy to tell you a tale or two 
    joking apart.....
the experiences they have been through make them the people they are,,,,experiences that we can only dream about or nightmare about !!!

Great old folk with lots to tell....so next time some old dear or old fella starts wittering on.....take a few minutes to listen to their tale...
chances are it will make you smile ....and at the very least it will make you think........


Old folks are worth a fortune,
with silver in their hair,
gold in their teeth,
stones in their kidneys,
lead in their feet and
gas in their stomachs.
