In the blink of an eye

It's sad how in a blink of an eye, everything in your world can change. A friend of my husband died last night, he was only in his late 40's. My heart goes out to his family, I know they are probably feeling lost, devastated and can't understand why. We'll never really know why, it was just his time. Life is short, we have to make everyday count, and always tell our loved ones that we love them, because we never know if it's our last chance.

We wonder about what life is about more when the young die before their time. It is indeed tough for immediate family to pick the pieces after the devastating blow - siva

It seems to be more of a shock when it's someone younger.

@lilnana1111 Yes, when the old depart it is more of nature taking its course and we should rather celebrate their lives - siva

Many things changes even in a blink of an eye, like the friend of your husband even how young he was when our time comes, we can't say no. So we must be prepared this thing will really come.

It sometimes takes an event like this to make us realize that every day that we have is precious and so are the people in our lives and we should not let anything go unresolved. My heartfelt sympathy.

I am so sorry for your friend, it's true that he was still very young. No one knows when it's our time to go.

It was out of the blue, he was a pretty healthy guy.
