    This hit me right in the face 2 years ago when my brother died running an Ironman. Not long after, my best friend died of stage 4 cancer. I’m about to turn 50, and im kinda freaking out…

      The longer you live, the more death you see. I’ve had my own surprise passings of close friends and relatives. It just reminds me to appreciate what’s around you while it’s there. Nothing is forever.
