Cycle of Life - Middle Age Style

So - this week we learned a dear long time friend is going on hospice with uncurable liver cancer.  He's a great guy, from the same town as my Grandfather in Scotland and a great musician.  A really truly great human.  And we are going to lose him and soon.  Not so long ago it seemed like every one was getting married, having a baby or two or three and we were going to confirmations, bar mitzvah's and other like youthful events.  I have this sinking feeling that there are memorial services and funerals in my future. 

When do we get to go back into the babies part of this?

The key message for me in this is that life is a circle but we can make the shape change - some.  Colonoscopies can save lives and we all need to get past the obvious yucky parts of them and get them done - if there's a family history or if you are 50 or over.  So - let's move it folks.  Please, lets all agree to make ovals.
