Is anyone else, fellow boomers out there feeling that time is moving too fast?  I just lost a dear friend this past week.  She died suddenly and was only 61.  How do we say goodbye when we don’t have a chance to say goodbye… when we don’t really want to say goodbye.  I keep picturing her smile, her voice, wondering if she felt pain, loneliness in those last moments.  We’ve all experienced death of friends, family, co-workers, but sometimes it just feels too close.  Life is precious and we don’t get a “do over” so tell your friends you love them today. Tomorrow may be too late.

    A friend, a sister, a co-worker: we truly don’t know when we will lose them. Although the term may seem redundant, giving people roses when they can smell them seems even more important………….
