Someone wrote it’s been a year of losing friends, a half dozen friends having passed in the prior 5 months. \u00a0Among the condolences, one comment said, “this has got to stop.” \u00a0I laughed so hard the water I was drinking squirted out of my nose. \u00a0No disrespect to anyone who’s lost a loved one, but isn’t it time we began to embrace that death is part of the process? \u00a0That’s like saying I’ll throw noodles and sauce and cheese in the oven at 350 for an hour but OMG, I don’t want to see lasagna at the end of it.<\/p>\n
