Thank you MJ for a very thoughtful provoking post. I think about death. Never far from my thoughts. We watch our aging in-laws in their nineties. I am marvelled at their life. At their resilience. Death is not something to be afraid of. Again thank you. 🙏
That is wonderful, what a blessing. Both for them to make it into the bonus years, and for y'all to be able to share this time with them. Thanks for reading and commenting Brenda 🙏. Happy Writing!🤠🤙
Beautiful post. Very sorry for your losses. I think I d seen that before but hadn’t thought to get one. I like the idea of that, memento mori, tracker of days.
Thanks Jennifer! There are some very nice ones available. I may upgrade to a framed version, and put it by my dresser so I see it each morning. Happy Writing!🤠🤙
I appreciate seeing the article "Memento Mori" today! My public library has a dis play set up for memento mori which i discovered yesterday. Many pictures, quotes, and representative items of those who have passed on. A wonderful display and gesture . Thank you for bringing light into this life today that our time here is precious, and death is a companion to us all. ✨️
Just make sure your heart is right with Lord. I sure want to see you in heaven and walk the streets of gold with you🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I'm sorry for your loss. My condolences 🙏 for all affected.
I wrote at the end of a piece a long time ago.
" Why is it the closer to death I am, the more alive I feel."
Maybe it creates a little urgency… love that quote!
Thank you Debra 🙏

Am saving this post. I think that says it all 🤍
Certainly 🙏
Pull the lemon from the tree
while it still hangs lusciously.
–
Soon enough it will decay.
don’t delay.
–
My mother and my father,
two sisters and a brother,
have gone beyond the sun.
–
In time, and soon, I too
will make that run.
As will we all...
Thanks for reading and sharing this beautiful poem Rick!
