Stumped

I read a quote today:

"Things which matter most must never be at the mercy of those that matter the least." -author unknown

I found out some really bad news about a friend and co-worker of mine. I will not share without their permission, but the news is probably the worst news someone can get.

It's the kind of news when you hear about it, it makes you grateful for family, health, stability. It's the kind of news that you are forever afraid is waiting around the corner for you. And the kind of news that makes you want to finish everything on your '100 things to do before you die' list right away.

It's the kind of news that breaks your heart.

Or at least that's the way that I felt when I heard the news.
