Just two days ago I noted how the icons of my past were fast disappearing. Well two more today- Farrah Fawcett and Micheal Jackson. Two very different people but both icons of a better time. Farrah's death was especially poignant to me as it's reminiscent of my wife's- first being joyed that she had been "cured" only to be crushed when the cancer returns and then a long painful futile battle hoping for the miracle that never comes. I knew when I heard Farah's cancer had metastasized to the liver it was only a matter of time. Beauty and fame does not impress the Grim Reaper.
Micheal's death was not so expected, but at least he got to go the easy way. Just lose consciousness- drift into sleep and it's over. Between the two it would sure be my choice when the time comes.
