< no comment | posted at 8:48 pm on November 14, 2003 > i'm reeling. this morning i found out that a workmate's husband (of only about 2 years) has cancer, and they are at the hospital now. bear in mind her husband is one of the nicest people i know, who i would consider a friend. he gave me those preview tickets to a play, i did a whole lot of work for him at one point, he's carted me around drunk before. it was all i could do not to cry at work. he definitely doesn't deserve this.the news was delivered and it was so hard seeing myself, another workmate - his good friend - and another all hold back the tears. i saw d go to the bathroom to recover himself and i had to go to the kitchen myself. i can't even comprehend... please also note that about three months ago this lovely woman lost her father to a heart attack and their family was faced with the decision to cut off life support while he was in a coma. also note one of her sisters was killed a few years ago. and that another sister is quite ill. i can't even imagine what it would be like to have to be so strong. um i have to go now. those last five |
