Ahh.... The Good Life!

I've always heard that. Bad things come in threes. I always considered it an old wive's tale, but now I'm not so sure.

Last week we had three deaths happen close to us. Now, don't get all upset, because it wasn't my immediate family or anything. Not that we weren't saddened, but you know what I mean. It makes me appreciate our Blue Advantage insurance all the more. I hope my girls don't have to use it until they're very old, but at least I know they're taken care of.

The first was the elderly owner of my husband's company. He was a very good man, and always treated us very well. He passed on Saturday.

The second was Greg's Aunt. She was took care of children most of her life, and was loved by many people. Greg's Mom and her were very close. She passed on Sunday.

The third was my Uncle. He was 91 years old, and drove around and played the fiddle up until a day or two before his death. He was known and loved by many bluegrass and fiddle fans all through WV. He was also my Dad's last living, and eldest brother. They spoke nearly every day. I know Dad will miss him most of all. He passed on Monday.

Even though they were all elderly, it still makes you think. My favorite saying really holds true at times like this. The most important things in life aren't things.
