Sad News

One of my favorite readers (a co-worker/friend) passed away today.

Finding out this news has really upset me and made me think about my own life. One day you are here, and the next day you might not be.

It is not that I am not afraid of death; I just feel sorry for the people that get left behind. It is they who suffer from the pain.

I also vow not to listen to people when they have foolish pride. This friend would not let people visit her in the hospital, as she did not want to be seen as weak. Because of that foolish pride, I missed out on the last 4 months of her life! We only spoke a handful of times on the phone. I felt guilty bothering her or making her explain things multiple times.

I do have fond memories of her. She was my salvation in the work place. She made me laugh, smile and get though the crappy days in the office.

I’ll miss her and cherish the time we did get to spend together.
