Life and it's sometimes trials

My brother, Don passed away a day or so ago. He had been ill, and in and out of the hospital recently. His wife of almost 44 years passed away last June, and he had been her care taker for a long time before that. I am sure he didn't take care of his health like he should have been doing, being a diabetic. So it is times like this that remind you to take care of your health above other things. I too am a diabetic,, and walk 5 days a week for my exercise and am being more aware of my diet. I want to live for a long time, and see all my grandkids grown up and on their own before that happens!!!! I try to have a positive attitude about life, and live it too the fullest!!!!!
