A final piece of advice from Holly Butcher - written the day before she passed away from cancer at just 27:

“It’s a strange thing knowing you’re going to die young.

At 26, I thought I had time…
To fall in love.
Start a family.
Grow old.

But cancer doesn’t care about plans.

Now, I understand how fragile life really is. Every single day is a gift, not a guarantee.

I’m not writing this to scare you. I’m writing to remind you: really live.

Stop stressing over little things. Be kind to your body- move it, nourish it, stop criticizing it. One day you’ll wish you had appreciated it.

Go outside.
Look at the sky.
Feel the sun.
Just be.

Spend less time chasing “stuff” - more time making memories. Don’t skip moments with people you love.

Laugh more.
Write a note.
Tell someone you love them.

Complain less.
Give more.
Helping others brings more joy than anything you can buy.

Be present.
Put your phone down.
Show up - really show up.

You don’t need to have it all figured out. You don’t need a perfect body, or a perfect life.

Just follow what makes your heart light up. Say no to what drains you. Make changes when you need to.

And please - donate blood. I wouldn’t have had that extra year without it. And that year gave me memories I’ll hold close… forever.

Thank you for reading this.
Live your life well.

And maybe… we’ll meet again someday.”

WHAT THE HECK! THAT WAS CLOSE! 😳 Those were the chilling words exchanged between the pilots of Delta Flight 263 and Cape Air 548 after a terrifying near-miss at Boston Logan on Thursday.

The Delta (N421DX) A330-900neo from Paris was on final approach when ATC suddenly ordered a go-around — a Cape Air plane had just been cleared for takeoff on an intersecting runway.

🎙️ Delta pilot: “That was close.”
🎙️ Cape Air pilot: “Yeah, man, not cool.”

284 passengers and 11 crew were aboard the Delta jet, which later landed safely. The FAA is investigating how such a lapse happened in one of America’s busiest airports.

@StickToCricket Wouldn’t wanna park myself next to Piers Morgan or Robert Key, mate. Chuck me anywhere else and I’ll be as happy as a roo in a veggie patch.

Oi, mate @nassercricket, reckon you could ease up on "nailed" a bit? You're chuckin' it round like confetti at a wedding. Every shot’s not a bloody "nailed". Give the vocab a breather, yeah? Let’s keep the commentary as fresh as a cold one on a stinker of a day.
