Rest in Peace Darin

It comes in waves.  Reminders that life is short.  Reminders to love now not tomorrow.  To cherish.  Or maybe it’s that life is soo good right now that I wonder how it can possibly hold together.  I fight my fears with the belief that most of us live into our eighties and beyond.  More importantly I fight my fears by living well.  To my best.  I live gently.  I’m easy with myself.  It’s a learned way.  A purposeful effort and it helps.  I cherish the good times, work hard when it’s time to work, and let go what can be let go.  It’s a practise.  A discipline.  One that renews every morning, forgiving yesterday and focusing on today.  It allows me to ride the waves, when they come, that remind me that life is short.
You were a good good man Darin.  I knew that for sure.
