I am becoming increasingly aware, almost daily, of my own mortality, and I want it to stop.
First, the husband of one of E.’s close co-workers passed away this past Friday;
then, my brother phoned Friday night to let me know that my Aunt M. passed away this past Wednesday, January 23rd:

Lastly (hopefully) I received word late this evening that the mom of a dear high-school friend died on the very same day:
