Free Write 2

Today I realized I am ten years older.  Ten fucking years older.  It took awhile but I realized it.  On 9/11/2001 I turned 22 years old.  I was 6 months pregnant with my oldest son. I was newly married.  I was in my early twenties!  Just like that 10 years older.  What happens with time?  What do you do when you realize you cant have it back?  Push forward....Make everything out of what you have left .....What you have left could be days...weeks...months...years...decades.   You just never know.  I lost a friend this week.  He was 39 years old.  Its not the first 39 year old I have seen die.  He was about to get married and start a new life...Gone.  No second chance.   Gone.  No mulligan because you were close but didn't quite do it right...just gone.  I hope...he accomplished a portion of what he hoped for at the very least.  He was a good guy. 
Ten years from now...Where will I be?  Where will you be ?  I hope not....Gone.
