I learned this afternoon that my cousin Michael passed away this morning. He was 48 years old. What is disturbing me is that he bled to death in the Hospital from a stomach ulcer. How does that happen in 2011? He was supposed to go home today and in the night he began to bleed and they couldn't stop it. I am just heartbroken. He was too young. In 2009 he lost his wife and I know that he was lost without her. He has 2 sons that are just awesome young men. His younger brother died last summer. My poor uncle. You shouldn't bury your children. It's just a very sad day for my family.
It is a clear reminder of why I had to change my lifestyle. I was on a one way path to my grave. Unhealthy eating and lack of exercise was leading me to heart disease and diabetes. I was afraid that I would die before my time. I can't stop an accident but I hope I can now can stop a heart attack. I lost my dad too early from a smoking related illness. As much as I love my sleep this is why I get up at 4:45am to run!
Keep moving!! It is so worth it!!!
