It is totally unfair. I know this so well. I finally had to stop thinking about that and just remember that because of all the healthy living, saving, and self care, the life that was lived, was lived to the fullest. It wasn't a waste.

So sorry, felt this way about my dad and he died at 73. As my dad would have said, "life is not fair." Hugs.Dragonflower says,
