Linkedin看到这个Post,感叹： Life is Short, Treasure Every Moment

This is my first and possibly last LinkedIn post.  Sorry that it is personal in nature, but it is the quickest way I can pass this sad news on to my colleagues, contacts and clients, many of whom became friends during my career.  As some of you know, I left the investigations business shortly after my wife Clare was diagnosed with motor neurone disease at Christmas 2021.  I became her full-time carer during her fight against this horrendous disease.  She faced it with courage, dignity and fortitude, even though it robbed her of the things she most valued in life – reading, talking with friends, passing on her views with wisdom, intelligence and kindness, and her independence.  She lost the battle last week, passing away at a hospice in Esher.  She leaves her devastated husband and three children behind her, but her legacy will live on through the wonderful kids that were everything to her.  The old cliché is that life is too short, and that proved to be the case for Clare.  You never think these things will happen to you.  We all live frantic, pressurised professional lives, doing things because we think they will be good for our career.  It has become painfully clear to me that we must treasure our health, our partners, our children, our families, our friends, and even our adversaries. Even more so now we live in times of significant global intolerance, and it has never been so important to be kind to and understanding of others.  Miss that conference to spend time with your family.  Go home early to watch your child’s play.  Be present for your friends.  Realise that behind every front door most people have significant personal challenges.  Before it is too late.
