I lost a dear friend yesterday and he was taken far too early. Whenever this happens the rest of us often reflect on our own mortality and our own lives. On Twitter my writer friends will occasionally remind everyone else to back up their work. We do need reminders. This post is one of those other reminders that even non-writer types get when they lose someone.
Our time is limited. Most of us have no idea exactly how limited because we don't get a countdown or a prophecy. The end could be decades away or later this afternoon. So live your life as you want to. Don't put things off. If you want to leave something behind, whether it's money, a work of art, a better world or simply someone who will think you were a good person, get to work on it now.
This is your only shot.

Sorry to hear, Matt.
Oh Matt, I'm so sorry. :(
Please accept my condolences, and sympathy for what must have been a draining couple of days.
Thank you, everyone.
I can not participate now in discussion - it is very occupied. But I will return - I will necessarily write that I think on this question.
I congratulate, you were visited with simply magnificent idea
I think, that you are not right. I suggest it to discuss. Write to me in PM.
I apologise, but, in my opinion, you are mistaken. Let's discuss it. Write to me in PM, we will talk.
Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. (One should study history to avoid mistakes of the past).
