It is at these times we must confront our own mortality.

When I started to see similar things happen to friends or acquaintances when I was about the same age every time I heard of someone getting sick or dying prematurely I would say to myself "time to buy that Porsche you always wanted". So I did. My parents generation worked hard but never spent any money always assuming they would live to a ripe old age.
