Death and Regrets

February 12, 2015 by Aaron Graves

On Sunday the 8th of February, at 8:08 pm, my grandmother Evelyn Lasseigne passed away. She was 88. The passing of someone else is a good time to remind yourself of your own mortality. Too often, so many of us go through life as though we’ll live forever. We pretend that death isn’t going to …
