The Highway of Life

No this is not a poem. The hustle and bustle of everyday life has caused me to lose touch with some friends. Saddest part is we are living in the same city but I have lost touch with some of them. The only contact is maybe a text message on the annual holidays like Christmas and New Year's eve.

Today I found out,  33 days ago an old colleague and friend of mine lost his son. The lad was just 22 and was due to start work in a few days. I cannot imagine how great this loss must have been to the family. I phoned him today and I could sense the sadness in his voice. I felt a sense of guilt, a regret for not making the effort to keep in touch. I have heard the phrase 'Life is Short' so many times before and truly it is brief. My heart is still troubled.
