There is never enough time

Four things you can't recover:

The stone........after the throw.          The word.........after it's said.

The occasion........after it's missed.    The time...........after it's gone 

I thought he would outlive us all, all seven of us. But today my brother Hal passed away, suddenly, after months of devotion and caring for his disabled wife. His heart gave out even though his strength and strong will never failed him.

I will miss him.
