Am I the Angel of Death - the Grim Reaper?

Life is getting weirder.  You can decide if I personify the angel of death (BTW religious books do not mention an "Angel of Death".  Only God can command one of his angels to take a life).

On with the background to the question in the title.  I seem to be surrounded by death these days, the most gut - wrenching of which was the death of my wife just over a year ago - cancer.

Now check these out.

Case 1.    A childhood friend, whom I had not seen in decades, invited me for lunch and during our conversation I noted that I had PD.  "So what," he said,"We are all going to get something sometime." Six months later he died - lung cancer

Case 2.    A childhood friend of mine telephoned me and we recalled old times.  A few months later he died - cancer.

Case 3.  Four of us rented an apartment.  A vacancy arose when one got sick and later died - cancer. Of the remaining three, two died, one from a brain bleed and the other from a heart attack.

Case 4. Another roommate died from a heart attack.

An old friend noted,   "At the rate we're leaving Doug, you may find out sooner than later. At our age I guess we can't expect anything else.

For me, a miracle I made it this far."

Life is coming at me too fast!

Read MJF's new book "No Time Like the Future". It is by far the best he has written.  It might scare you, but it will also show you how to handle your future with grace.
