Death Came In Swiftly

death came in swiftly
snatched up my cousin Bobby
left us heartbroken

It is weird to me, but death always shocks and surprises, even when it was lingering.

I feel the pain of this deeply (as I have lost many loved ones this way). Very apt description, my friend. I'm so sorry for your loss.

It was actually this week, and it was a good friend's loss. The funeral is today.

Yes, it does, all too swiftly sometimes. Well done.

It is difficult to explain the suddenness of it.
