118 - Tom

 I guess after today's news there's really only one thing that can be talked about; the death of Captain Sir Tom Moore at the age of 100. 

He captured the mood of the nation last year during the first lockdown, with his sponsored walk around his garden - 100 laps before his 100th birthday - and his positive messages, notably tomorrow will be a good day. 

He raised a ludicrously high amount of money for charity - in the millions - for his efforts, and was an inspiration, lifting so many people's spirits. 

So, to hear today that he died was more than a little disheartening. 

But the thing to bear in mind is his long life, and that his last year of his life was so full of amazing experiences. Every life has a value. 

RIP.
