Hello Mark. Thank you for that wonderful reply. What an impressive human John was! I think that defining of how long e would live was a call to say, whatever you are planning, do it. Because it's true. I could drop off right now, and you'd never get my reply. Hope fully that won't happen.

I read a lovely post here on Medium by a man who said he was no longer going to a doctor, because their raison d'etre, is to find things wrong with you. I loved his attitude.

Our lives are a collection of those six months you talk about, and we can presume none of them.

I wrote an story here about a friend of mine who lost almost all her adult children in a theme park accident a few years ago. Can you even imagine?

They extended heir holiday for one more day, so they could enjoy the theme park, and they all died.

So yes, it challenges us all to live our lives with determination.

Thanks again Mark. Lovely to meet you. :)
