Life changes on a dime

Life doesn't give us directions that show us how to deal with  unforeseeable clusters of situations.  " Life can turn on a dime "... and it's for real ....  Your parents get sick .  Your parents die .  Your siblings get sick.  Your siblings die ..... yet it seems like just yesterday you were 18 ... and had your entire family around you ....  
It's so very true that you wake up one morning and you are your parents.  Time does fly by.  It gets confusing sometimes .... it seems to hang on and then it jumps ahead months and years without warning ... 
Today marks 20 years since my dad passed away and  36 years since I landed in Toronto .  I'm trying to slow it down .... to get some perspective of how to live life in a more orderly way,though that seems so out of reach .... so far-fetched ....
