Four sudden stories:
1. An older mother who "last 2 days she was struggling to breathe. She got up this morning to go to a booked appointment at x hospital, folded slowly to the floor and passed away."
2. "My son was standing on the train platform with my grandson when he had a heart attack. They got him to hospital and then he had a second heart attack. Turns out he had pulmonary embolisms and they went through his heart."
3. "I have just been diagnosed with motor neurone disease. It's irreversible and they can't do anything for it. I have to start handing over my work and I want to spend what time I have with my wife."
4. The U14A team are wearing armbands today as their goalkeeper lost his dad this week.
How many of us are walking that fine thin line between this breath and no more breath? I am glad I don't know how thin that line can get. Or how thick or thin my line might be.
We/I teeter-totted along the embolism line three years ago. I am grateful each morning for all I have - my Adam, my Jess and my Luke.
Sometimes it's important to stop and evaluate. What am I spending my breath on?
