I realized a long time ago that we're only alive between the heartbeats- no more no less.

Don't put off anything.

Be thankful for the time we have and be ready for the end.

Love your family, friends, and people that do you no harm- leave a small footprint when you go.

In these times the only suffering is from those left behind.

Learn from their death and ride on for them and those who are no longer with us.

Sorry for your loss. Others have already said everything that be said. Celebrate life--Yours and theirs.
