    Just remember, your not here just for the weekend.

    My mum went out for some tea for my dad, he said he wanted some bacon and eggs, they were the last words he ever spoke to her, she dropped down dead of a heart attack while out shopping. She was just 60, so think on.

    It certainly changed my way of thinking.

    How many years do you think you have left to live.........
    Maybe 1, maybe 10 or 12. enjoy them

    The same happened to my mum 10yrs ago. she went out to do some carol singing just before christmas, she found my dad slumped in the chair on her return. He was 65.

    One reason I only work part time now, without the stress of my last job. I am so glad they made me redundant now.
