Sorry to hear about your friend Linda. 41 is definitely way too young to die. There has been far too many of our peers passing on over the years at rather young ages, due mostly to cancer or some other insidious disease. A lot of that seems reflective of the environment we've worked in, and whilst it's not understandable, it has become almost accepted.
The 'wrong place at the wrong time' bus can collect any of us at any time. So I would exhort all of you to live every day as if it was going to be your last. What a bastard it would be, recognising just before you died, that you had not done a lot with your life and not enjoyed it anywhere near as much as you would have liked to......
Not an issue for Vince, but how many of us could finish up now and be satisfied with what we had done/achieved. We're not getting any younger...go for it...and let the kids fend for themselves...just like we had to....
