The universe is indeed mysterious, some rotten humans live to be 100. Every once in a while, we need a reminder that tomorrow is promised to no-one. Enjoy today folks.

Standing in the aftermath of activites focused totally on reviving a loved one who's heart has stopped is an experience that will never be forgotten by those who have experienced it. A hole through the middle of your soul yearns to be filled with some sign, some slight movement to suggest the experts are wrong...some of you have been there, some haven't... Hug those close to you, please. God bless his family and friends. Lynn B

This brought a tear to my eye (again). We were there watching the race and jogged right beside him soon after he fell. Several people were attending to him, holding his legs up, and he looked ill. I was shocked to hear after the race that he died. Sad.
