"In my time of dying..."

My friend's father passed away this morning from cancer. For the past few days he was on the verge of death.

I don't know why but the fact that his family was freaking out about what would happen if he died right before Passover, somehow made me a little angry and depressed. We all know how much work and hassle it is to get ready for Passover, but it just seems wrong that this man's death is yet another inconvenience that needs to be thought of.

I am not blaming the family. They loved him very much and they are good people. It is just a sad commentary on human life. Ultimately, even your death can be an inconvenience.
