fine wine

i saw several bottles of fine wine the other day at home - and only today found out the story behind it.

a friend of my dad's, only about 50 years old, had suddenly discovered he had terminal lung cancer, apparently coming out of nowhere - terence was not a smoker, he exercised.  he had just passed away a few weeks back.

his wife had kindly shared the wine with us, telling us that terence was had been a lover of fine wine, and wanted to share his collection with his friends after his passing away.

i just wanted to write about this small story. at times i have wondered about what it would be like to own a really nice wine collection. it is just really unfortunate that terence, in his last days, probably was not able to enjoy the collection he had so painstakingly built up over the years.

just... think about that for a moment.

my sincere condolences to his family. i hope his spirit soars high.
