Hug your peeps.

yes RIP ............and why is all the shitheads of society live until they are 107? Just not fair.........not fair at all.

low stress.  "shitheads" are often care-free people, they don't worry about nothin'!

stress = death.

and yes, you can be happy all the time and still be a worrier.

When I was a kid my judo instructor died of an MI during class - just dropped to the floor and turned blue. He was a trainer at the Air Force Academy in excellent shape. It traumatized me sufficiently to propel me into medical school years later.

I've seen way too many people die way too early, often for no good reason. I try to live every day as I would if I knew I was going to drop dead at some random point in the next month. One of these days, I'm going to be right.

This a good reminder to take nothing for granted.  And more importantly, please take care of yourself.  People all around you need you to be around and will miss you miserably if you are gone.

RIP Jim.

sad,

if nothing else its a wake up call to you and your loved ones to try to be healthy and keep on top of things before any signs show up.

even if you do everything right, its still no guarantee that things will be "right" or "fair".

That's just how life is at times.  But i agree with the OP, try to cherish the moments you have because nobody knows how many you got.

Jim's funeral was today.

By far the most somber and sad that I've ever attended. Understandably, his wife was a wreck. But worst of all was seeing his two little nieces, who loved him as if he were their Dad.

It broke my heart. 

Go to the doc, and be sure to enjoy every moment.
