When The Grim Reaper Comes A Knocking article by: James Thomas Fridas
When he does will you be ready? for starters on my fathers side there were 14 brothers and sisters plus husbands and wives all are deceased on my mothers side there were eight brothers and sisters plus husbands and wives all deceased, so what is my point, well are you prepared for the grim reaper? the cousins are also affected I lost my cousin Renee at age 44 and my cousin Leon at 47 so there is a pain that sets in when it hits close to home, last month my dearest friend Joe died all of a sudden and before him my other dear friend Gary, leaving a wife and three young children then before him my friend John drowned and my friend Al was murdered, so now here I am with no aunts or uncles or grandparents fewer cousins and no more good friends, am I ready? Let me tell you a true story, by the way all my writing is honest and true, my Uncle Chris lived with my mother and me in San Francisco for many years before he passed away and he use to hang around at one of his favorite haunts the Chinese Bakery on Irving Street near 22nd Avenue and he had a dozen friends that use to hang around with him, so one day in 1995 I asked him why he wasn't out and about with his friends at the bakery, he replied they are all dead, and he had a sad frown on his face, I know that sadness now and i want you to be aware of your circumstances ahead of time, you may be one of the fortunate few who meets the grim reaper before all your family and friends do. I wish you a happy and fulfilling life with joy in abundance, now that I am in my winter of life I hope you take advantage of your friendship and appreciate them to the max, I can truly say that my dearest friend who passed away on March 14 2012 was and will always be a friend and I hope to see him in heaven or at least in the next life, yes I believe in reincarnation and will dedicate a blog to reincarnation soon, so keep checking out the blogs and you will see it soon.
Thank you for reading my blog and I would appreciate any response so don't be bashful, don't be shy, go ahead and write me, just give it a try!
