Summary
You may have heard the Latin phrase, "Memento Mori" which quite literally means "remember that you have to die." That phrase has also been used to describe an object that serves as a reminder of death, like a skull or any other object that has that connotation.
Now, the reason I want to talk with you about this because, just prior to hitting record on this podcast, I booked a flight and hotel to go see my father who, just a couple days ago, had a heart attack. I don't know whether he is going to live or die but, unfortunately, right now, things don't look good. I'm sure by the time this podcast is released we'll know if he has passed or if he's in the clear.
As I think about all that's gone on for me physically, mentally, and emotionally over the past 48 hours, I can't help but think about the prospect of my own death.
