Tomorrow isn’t promised

Actress Natasha Richardson fell down while taking skiing lessons and bumped her head and within hours she was pronounced dead.

One day you’re alive and happy with your whole life ahead of you and the very next day, you’re gone without having had the opportunity to say goodbye, or say thank you, or say I love you.

I'd like to think that I’m going to be able to say my goodbyes and write letters and do a video to be aired at my funeral but that’s just wishful thinking. Chances are whenever I’m swept off the face of this earth, even if I live to be 101, it will still be too soon because life is precious.

Hi August, my brother had a serious head injury about four years ago after a car crash. We thought he was gonna die but it's left him physically disabled but able and capable and most importantly ALIVE. People need to know how serious this issue is. Death and loss of the life you know is truly tragic. I feel for Natasha's family.

By the way, your piece on disability and wheelchair users was greatly appreciated.

Keep doing what you're doing. You site is enlightening, entertaining informative and often LOL funny. I'm a true fan. Did you get my email yesterday?
