Mortality is a tricky thing. We all know, or should, that we will someday die, but when we're forced to focus on that someday and realize the bell will toll specifically for each of us, it gets more than a little tense.
My family and I are wrestling with that situation right now as I face some decisions (not all within my control) about my health that I would much rather have been theoretical, and which have caused me to become my wife's patient instead of her partner.
As Tony Soprano so sagaciously observed, 'Every day is a gift, but does it have to be a pair of socks?" Turns out, we're a short time here and a long time gone.
