I know this person, she was married to that man. A rather great individual, an eye surgeon.<\/p>\n
I was on vacation at their Canary Island house and he was on a diet and working out. In his well-advanced sixties, he was swimming every day and eating simple, small meals.<\/p>\n
Then one day, he stopped doing that. He started snacking whenever he wanted, just sitting in the pool etc. A few days later, we\u2019re having a nice dinner and he\u2019s eating well. Later he insists into gifting me clothes, really cool shirts \u2013albeit too large that I still have.<\/p>\n
He passed away that night. I always felt that he knew something that we didn\u2019t, that he chose to leave this way. Of course, she was pretty devastated.<\/p>\n
Well, she\u2019s in her 80s now and about to get married again.<\/p>\n
The human will to reach for happiness. I just find that fabulous. Whatever it is, it\u2019s never too late. I say that often these days, paraphrasing Raph Koster: \u201chappiness is a process, not a destination.\u201d <\/em>(meaning that happiness comes and goes and that you\u2019re always looking for it; focus on elements that create happiness around, and you\u2019ll be \u201chappy\u201d most of the time)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I know this person, she was married to that man.
