If you ever had a close family member die...

Did you start thinking about your own time on earth a lot more? Every day since my dad passed in February, I'm thinking of A. How sad it is Bec it was so fast, and B. How much more time do I have?
Will I get cancer too? Will I get some other severe disease? Or get hit head on by a speeding car?
It makes me realize how little time we have and to maybe start LIVING more. But it also makes me so helpless, that we all leave here😢

Yes, and the fact that I'm the oldest male ever on my father's side of the family is a reminder of my own mortality. If I live another 5 years, I'll be as old as any male in my entire family's history.
My sister (2 years older) is now the oldest living person in my family.
My time to die will come, hopefully not too soon....but you never know.
