Life can be so random
Talk about here now, gone tomorrow.
"One of the 33 patients in the report died -- a 31-year-old Pennsylvania woman who was 14 weeks pregnant with twins when she first went to the emergency room with symptoms. Despite treatment with antibiotics considered effective against C-diff, she lost the fetuses and then died."
That is just crazy. One minute she's an expectant mother then next minute she is no more. One minute he's a (presumably) happily married father to be (twins no less) and the next he is a widower.
And in the immortal words of Ferris Bueler: "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around every once in a while you could miss it." Or you could just get randomly infected with a colon bacterium and die. Same thing really.

*lol* a little black humor every now and then goes a long way! :)
i just think it is important to remember how temporary we are, how insignificant. how we can easily cease to exist just like a little bug that we squished in our apartment earlier that day. a decaying body all that is left.
while it may seem dark i think there is immense freedom in that realization.

Z, you may have a point, but I'd really rather not die from a dreadful little bacteria that's pretty much immune to antibiotics and gives you severe diahrrea!

yeah, it's definitely not an ideal way to go! ;)
