Kicking Back Comments: I have to say things like this always shock me ... although speaking from personal experience it should not. One can be in the very prime of their life, or even well before (you have to watch the link! and here), and be struck by something like this.

Cherish every moment folks ... you never know when.

All the very best for a speedy return to Alston.
