Napolitano said being confronted with death gives life an urgency. It allows people to see things differently. We all tend to get lost in the ho-hum repetitive responsibilities of life, but when we are confronted with death, most people realize what is most meaningful is love. It puts the important stuff into perspective. Nobody wants this diagnosis, but wonderful things can take place.
Everyday things are so much more meaningful.
We really notice the gifts we have right now.
