My friend's friend died today, the day before his wedding day
I have met him several times over the years, and he was a warm, funny guy. At 47, he had finally met the woman he'd been searching for. She was 44, had never been married, and adored him.

Tomorrow night they were to have the fairy-tale wedding she had always dreamed of. This morning he suddenly dropped dead of a heart attack.

Please send out vibes for this poor woman, and for his mother and sister and the friends who loved him so much.

And cherish the people you love, every minute.

12. Thank you, everyone
Woke up and can't go back to sleep, thinking of how heartbreaking this is. Tomorrow night was supposed to be this lovely wedding, and instead this weekend there will be a funeral.

"How fragile we are."
