Sad news

   

A little maudlin today.  During the weekend I spied an obituary to a 'lad' who was in my school year.  To be perfecly honest I couldn't really remember who he was and had to check out the tags on our year photo to put the face to the name.  Nevertheless, I feel terribly sad and although I don't really know what happened the obituary asks for donations to be sent to the British Heart Foundation.  Who knows what heart condition he had,  I'm just putting 2 and 2 together and making 5.  I know it happens, but it highlights the danger of heart disease when it happens so close to home.  Not so long ago we were a healthy bunch and  I'm completely shocked that anyone from my own school year would already dropping down from heart disease, we're not that old (36).  Brings home the fragility of life.
