The fragility of life

While checking for news about the Australian election last Sunday morning, I was saddened to find out that my favourite journalist Matt Price had passed away at the very young age of 46.  I was very shocked because I didn’t even know that he was sick – I haven’t read The Australian for a while, mostly because its website has problems loading at work.  According to reports, Price was only diagnosed with having brain tumours in September, which means that his death is terribly sudden and tragic.  Since I am quite familiar with his articles, I feel like someone I know has died and his death emphasises to me that life is very fragile.  I will certainly find understanding politics even more difficult now that I can no longer rely on Price’s great Sketch column.  I will also miss his funny articles about the Fremantle Dockers.
