Thoughts on dying and love

I am thinking of two people today. One is a wonderful widow woman I spoke with online about eight years ago named Anjolie. She was happily married and her husband slipped and fell in the shower and was dead in two days. She's living with his family in Scotland now. Another is a friend on Twitter named @siren_sweet who's battling cancer and not expecting to live much longer, she has two teenaged children she's leaving behind along with family and friends.
Death could arrive at anybody's door at any hour and I am thinking of the great tenderness and care I showed Angie and Siren when in conversation with either one.
It occurred to me that we should always be conscious of how fragile life is and of how much gratitude we should always show anybody we love or care about or meet in a day.
They could be gone tomorrow morning.
