I realize that my generation is now old, as funerals for contemporaries are increasing. To me, a contemporary is a person that I worked with closely or played on the same competitive sports team. For a long time, funerals were either for friends of parents or parents of friends. However tomorrow, I will be attending the second funeral for a contemporary in the last three years.
He was a rugby teammate from a group I joined in my twenties. Back then we were indestructible, and death was the least of our concerns. He passed away last Saturday, while waiting for a transplant.
It's become clear that our mortality is no different from those who were older than us.
