Who do you know that took a path you didn't expect?

A dear friend of mine, singer and ballet dancer for a band I always loved, one day collapsed on stage. Turns out he had a massive brain tumor. He retired from music and is now gardening a lot. None of us - even his family - expected him to survive.

He's living a very peaceful life these days and I love that for him. Needless to say his garden is to die for.
