I am glad to say I am alive and well today. Yikes. A person who shares my name with only a g in it passed on, she was only 2 years older than me. No, not me. Glad to be here and glad to have this day ahead of me. There are other Linda Heminways out there, though some are spelled differently. It brings to mind that life is "short" and you never know when your time is up. So, work on your bucket list, my friends, and stay the course. Live life and enjoy life. You just never know. I highly recommend doing something for others to mark your presence in this world felt long after you are gone, as well. This Linda Hemingway (I looked her up out of morbid curiosity, I guess) passed the night before her own son's wedding. I wish she had been there for it and if she had to go, that is was a day afterwards. So, in case something did happen to me. I wanted to say that I am here for today, love you all, will see ya in heaven (I hope) in case I make some unexpected exit that is unplanned. You just never know. It's sobering to see an obituary with your own name on it, as I just did. It puts things in a different perspective, perhaps, as you begin a day. I plan to do an extra random act of kindness today now. I try to do stuff like that as an opportunity might arise, but I think I'll go out of my way today to do that. But, I'm planning to be around for a very long time, I'm having too much fun not to be. I'm so sorry to have read the obituary for the other Linda. I guess I have to be happier, try harder to do justice to her life too? What a shame to read such a thing. I did make me think. Sounds like she was a nicer person.
