Ageless Heart

My parents lost a close friend yesterday. He was 92 years old and up until the past few months, was in good health. He left behind his wife, who was also 92 and two children, in their 60's. When I tell people about his death, in their minds they will be thinking "he was an old man and it was inevitable". Rationally, they are correct. No matter how old he was, his family will feel the same grief. When we lose a loved one, at any age, we feel the same amount of sorrow. Whether it was at 72 or 82 or 92, our hearts do not feel less pain. When god gave us the ability to love, he did not put an age limit on it.
