Affirmation
May 2, 1975
I'm not sure who was on Mom's mind when she refers
to people who die too young, but my father's death at the
age of 52 was only two years in the past, and not long
before that a young woman I knew had taken her own
life. Still earlier, one of my childhood schoolmates, now
college age, had died in a bizarre Halloween accident
when his car crashed into a runaway horse on a country
road just a few miles from home. The incidents are
abundant, and abundantly sad. Those of us who survive
are always aware of those who didn't make it, and must
learn from that whatever there is to learn.
