another year over….

A very tough one because death and disease played major roles. It affected both family and close friends. A year where I had to accept that death and disease belongs to life. No one alive today would be here if not millions died before.

When we are young death and disease mean little to us. At least for the lucky ones born in a rich country. As we grow older they become more important and we start to fear them. Till the day where we accept that they belong to life. I’m almost 44 years old now and finally grown up.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Take your time before you grow up.
