Is it unfair when it's a gift to be here and experience all this stuff to begin with? Life is winning the lottery.
I think it's amazing Chris got to do as much as he did. Worked in a prominent position doing something people dream of, had a family & kids who will carry on his legacy and probably did his fair share of giving back and helping make a difference in the community with the Flames. He got to live a pretty exciting life and I'm sure he was feeling nothing but gratitude for it all each day given the way he approached the last 4 years (didn't slow down and embraced each day)
One's impending mortality isnt a unilaterally sad thing. It also gives everything meaning and makes the experiences we have that much more special.
