Grandma was 92 when she passed away in 2015. A ripe old age as some would say. I still believe that her last two decades of life could have been much better – if only she and her main caretakers had made better planning and decisions. As a result, I try not to keep things bottled up for too long, to speak my mind, to plan and make decisions and then stand by them.

Catherine would be in her 30s, but she lose her life in 2005, battling uterine cancer and all other complications that came with it. Her life and death will always be the reference and reason as to why I put good health and excellent health care on the top of my life’s priorities.

When I read Homo Deus earlier this year, I thought of Tony. He would have been a great candidate; rich, highly educated, relatively healthy, cultured, useful, and was positioned in the right place at the right era. I have expected to read his second, third and subsequent books. At this moment, I am having a hard time believing the implications that his death was indirectly and partly caused by Covid-19. There were no strict lockdowns in the US. Nor was there any social bubble restrictions. Damn it Tony, you would have turned 47 today and partied yourself silly!

How this latest death is going to affect me, is yet to be seen…
