Life can be so fragile

An SMS came which sort of made me a bit disillusioned. It is to tell me that someone I know had a stroke. She is a lady in her early 50s, single and very active and strong. I usually meet her in the evenings when she go hiking.

Often, I would wonder to myself if I can ever be as active as her, to climb those hills. But usually, I would brushed it off, giving excuses that my kids can’t keep up with me so I have no chance to do like she does.

Now that she has stroke, it gives me a shudder to think of my own health. Life is so fragile. Even with healthy eating, active lifestyle, life can still throw you a curve.
