I'm sorry to hear about both your friends situations Tops. However hard we work, there's really no guarantees in this life.
As I see my Mum's mental health deteriorate, I'm just so grateful for the years I've had the privilege to have known her. Love is the most precious thing, and it comes in many forms, and in unexpected ways.
As you can see, I've been a bit reflective today!
Hope everyone's doing well.
