Maybe because as we mature we experience loss which drives home the fact that live and relationships are tenuous and require work, love and attention to thrive. Good post and good reminder to tell someone you love them while you have the opportunity. BTW, did I tell you how much I appreciate our friendship??? Well, I do and I'm proud to have such a wise and dynamic person to call "friend". I have learned to appreciate my friends so much more as I’ve gotten older.

Heart disease is the number one killer of women over 40 and isn't always hereditary. As far as old friends go, I still keep in touch with friends I went to kindergarten with. It's actually cool to think back on stuff we remember at that age. That is part of the power of Facebook :) As someone who lives with congestive heart failure, it is a part of my mission to educate women on the dangers of not taking care of their hearts.

Shame on me, I forgot about National Wear Red Day - but I did it anyway. Maybe my subconscious mind remembered! More women die of heart disease than anything else, and thank God the medical world is starting to realize that and that women's cardiovascular problems appear differently than in men, but are just as deadly. My family has a long history of heart disease and I've lost more of them than I care to count to this horrible monster. You're so right about friends - I can't imagine life without mine. Great reminder, Eileen.
