I had a friend pass suddenly a couple weeks ago [View all]

I had a friend pass away suddenly a couple weeks ago. He had a massive heart attack which ended his life. He was 45 years old, just under 9 years older than me. He left a teenage son and a 10 year old daughter behind. That was the hardest part was seeing his kids at the wake and realizing just how young these kids were - the daughter in particular.

If any good has come of this it did prompt me to get my will done, make sure to have final arrangements in case the worse did happen, and to have my doctor give my ticker a good once over. She said my heart looks good, I'm moving in the right direction on weight, and cholesterol is good.

Is it wrong of me to feel that if God had given me a choice of taking either me or him I would've have gladly gone in my friend's place?
