Life can be short

Today we got some bad news. One of the moms from our original PEPS group died suddenly yesterday. She was working out at the health club when she collapsed. She was taken to the hospital and sustained on life support until the middle of the night. She had no brain activity due to a brain aneurysm so her family pulled the plug. She was one of the two Theresas.

She leaves a husband Nicholas, and two boys, Logan (Nathalie's age) and Kiran (slightly younger than Marc). The kids go to summer camp with our kids during the summer.

Theresa and Nicholas were in our child birth class. We weren't close but the moms have stayed in touch now for over 11 years. Theresa was probably the closest of all the woman to Amy. She was certainly my favorite. The men have not stayed close but hearing the news made me sick to my stomach. Amy and the other Mom's Night Out women are going to visit the family this weekend. It's a terrible tragedy. She was vibrant, healthy woman. She was in her early forties.

Today, when you get home hug your spouse tight, kiss your kids, call your parents, call or siblings, just do something. Then live life.
