Someone died today

I did not know them. Not the first death I have experienced. Not the most traumatic death, either. It wasn't up close and personal. I wasn't involved. But this one struck a chord for some reason. For some reason, it was shocking. As we get older, death becomes closer to us. We become so much more aware of our mortality. The human body is so strong and so very fragile. Dying can take it's time. Death happens between 2 heart beats.
