Well I've never had anyone die on me, but I can see how that might spring you into sucking the marrow out of life as you so poignantly put.
Me I was sixteen, our high school band and vocal jazz quoir traveled to Europe. We went to Switzerland, Germany, saw Venice and France and a part of Greece. On our last day touring and performing I felt under the weather. Suddenly I found myself in my bunk running a fever close to death. I was at 105 and rising. A doctor came and said I had caught the German flu. I remember being so hot, throwing up non stop. I just wanted to go home. I also couldn't hear because I was so congested.
On the plane ride home while landing both my ear drums burst and began to bleed. My mom thought I was going to be deaf for the rest of my life. I thankfully recovered. Being that sick, far away from home, missing my family, surrounded by foreign EVERYTHING wasn't easy. But looking back all I keep thinking is if I lost my hearing, at least I got to see Paris.
