I have watched a number of Former President Mandela's documentaries over the years and every time I look at him in his 90's I have a hard time reconciling this old man with the ferocious, fearsome young warrior in those videos.
His current state is a desperate reminder to me of my own mortality, a reminder of how even the greatest of us, must succumb to what has been from the beginning of time_ the evidence of its passing on our corporeal being.
All one can wish for is that when your moment comes, you would have been the kind of person that will be remembered as fabulously influential, be it far & wide or close to home.
I dread being forgotten.............
