The last couple of months have been really tough. for those we know, have known living in sniper’s alley aged between 47-60. By the way, this doesn’t just apply to black men, but a warning for all of us.
What really hits home are ignoring medical advice, unhealthy diets, lack of exercise, work and life stress, excessive drinking/smoking have in some part been a contributor. It is absolutely devastating especially when there is a lot of masking, pantomiming, bravado, machismo..
The homecomings have become too regular and too early. If you are reading and if any of this resonates, please please make sure you have a full MOT every year. Listen to your body, GP, family and close friends. And live your best life.
As one pastor said, maybe said many times at funeral services, keep your house in order, have a positive life plan, make sure you have contingencies. Get your shit together.
If your wife/partner/children/mates are nagging you, it’s probably because they are afraid they will lose you too soon, when you still have time do something about it.
much love
