The wife had a good friend she worked with that had lung transplants she fought for years.

I think right about 5 years was when she passed as well.

Her body "dealt" with it but I don't think anything really worked to where it accepted it.

She never smoked, never drank, never did drugs. She got the big C and they caught it in time and got her on the list.

She was a very attractive light skinned black woman. When the services were held the wife brought back pictures they had of her and her family.

I flipped through the first few and thought "Wow, her parents were deeeeeep dark. There some family history they don't like to talk about?"

Then I saw some photos of her in HS and College. She was very dark as well. She didn't look like I knew her until she'd already had the transplant.

I'll admit it was the first time something made me want to quit smoking. I didn't. I still do. I'm a creature of bad habits.

If I'd lost that kind of pigment I'd be ****ing invisable.

Short story long anytime could be your time. Anything could happen.

Live your life like you've been given a gift because you have...
