skilsaw Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 A man I have known and respected for over 4 decades died a couple days ago in a tragic accident. He fell off a ladder and died a short time later in hospital. It makes one pause and think about life doesn't it. Wherever possible, stay on good terms with people. Every day tell your spouse and children that you love them. What other wisdom can be drawn out of tragedies like this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saturn Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Sorry for your loss. I don't know what wisdom can come, other than what you've already stated. That's true advice, but most of us forget it until a story like yours happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertAndersson Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Really sad to hear about your friend. Perhaps we that are left behind should do a little more of what we really want instead of what they think we should, and perhaps a litte more today instead of tomorrow. //Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btoth76 Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Hello! I agree with Robert, the only wisdom that can be drawn from tragedies, that life is short, don`t waste time on regrets, anger, or sadness. Spend time with the ones You love, and do what You love to do. Because: mors certa, hora incerta. Please accept my condolences. Bence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kidblast Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 that's terrible news. In the past year alone, I know of three people who have gotten seriously injured using ladders doing very routine work around the house, (one guy was changing a light bulb) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L8_4thesh0w Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Yeah man, for sure, you never know. A good friend from high school's dad retired, bought an RV and traveled around the country with his wife. After a while he got bored and took a job as night watchman at Peterbilt. One night he slipped on a freshly mopped floor... You gotta remember the good and try to bring out the best in yourself and those around you... and be disappointed sometimes. C'est la vie. My heartfelt condolences. ϵβ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
