Certainties Of Life

Death is one of the certainties of life that cannot be avoided no matter how hard you try and no matter what precautions you take. A friend of mine told me one time that when you get to be middle age, life becomes more about loss and how you deal with loss than it is anything. The positives of life at middle age are few and far between. A very close family member is facing a life and death surgery next week and I am afraid. Very afraid. There is no way that you can prepare yourself for the outcome, good or bad. I try to take a humorous look at my life but nothing that has happened to me in 2019 has been funny and there is no humor in it at all. Now, me and my family are facing the toughest test of them all. All I can do now is allow the universe to do its thing and I will have to accept the verdict.
