I mean, it's just that you go through life in your teens feeling invincible and in your 20s like you can conquer the world and in your 30s like, hey, things don't always go my way, but I can handle it and then
BAM!
Mortality slaps you in the face unexpectedly and the doctor says, "Well, there's a 20 percent chance this could be a problem, and with the color the mole is, the problem could be melanoma," and all of a sudden you realize that you shouldn't take life for granted and you should cherish every single day that you are healthy enough to ride your bike.
Sigh. Knowing I have many more happy days on this earth but saddened by the people who don't have the health and the idea that I might not be invincible....
Thanks for the hugs.... Johanna

CS,
I felt exactly like that when I went in last year for a "40 year old" general checkup and they found a lump on my thyroid. I also was really feeling my mortality. I so understand how you feel. I too am sending lots of hugs.
