I hate my job sometimes. A lot of times.

Cause it's MAAAAAAAAAAAD depressing.

This guy calls, saying his son died and the funeral home recommended him to us. It happens. So I give the call to the appropriate person, and look online at the funeral home for an obit.

The kid. He graduated high school in 1997.

*I* graduated high school in 1997.

He was really *really* overweight, but popular, and a hard worker. Was a volunteer fireman, etc.

He had a heart attack.



I dunno. Just kinda hit me.

I also had one of the most disturbing dreams on record of my cousin this weekend. It was so real, I woke with tears in my eyes. It sucked.

She IM'ed me this morning, and it just made me remember.

I miss her. Now that I have a non-suck car, I'm gonna go visit her soon.


Just focus on the good... right?

and jim will drive you anywhere

is that the one in the south?

you know you can get people to go on a road trip. i am sure there is an sca/ renaissance / goth / industrial / camping event nearby for the rest of us.

arghhh not a fun call to get. much younger than me... that is why i eat oatmeal and cherrios every day

he will. he's so wonderful.

yep. trish is in virginia.

lol.. prolly. when i went last time, i got to see edgar allen poe's dorm room in UVA.

yeah. cheerios are your friends. sucks LOTS. his dad was all sortsa broken up and trying to sound "okay" on the phone. i felt for him.

virginia sounds like a road trip. there's some free weekends in april and may.

i can't imagine. hard enought to lose a father, but to lose a son. not something you want to think about.

[synnoveaevael.livejournal.com]

hehehe.. maybe :)

it's unnatural. parents are older, and as much as it hurts to have them go, it's the natural order of things because they're older. you're just not supposed to outlive your kids. i couldn't imagine it either.

You gotta look to the good. If all we did was focus on the bad, we'd never get through our day.

It's a sobering thought when we hear about people our age dying. Reminds us of our mortality and that we ARE human and it CAN happen to us.

It also reminds us to live every moment like it's our last...because it very well could be.

You gotta live to experience, not the other way around. *Hugs*

WOW! That was a horrid start to the day. That just adds to m recent reaching out to friends and family I haven't kept in good touch with because of distance. He sounds soo like my friend that I just got an e-mail from today. Overweight younger then me and a fireman amung other things. It just makes me even more addament about getting out of this house and doing/seeing the people and places/things I want to. Definite wake up call to everyone realy.

[synnoveaevael.livejournal.com]

yeeeeep.

[freya9699.livejournal.com]

Oh BTW where in VA is your friend I am planning a road trip to that area myslef, you are more then welcome to hitch a ride. My friend just came back from Iraq and she is staying with her mom in VA.

[synnoveaevael.livejournal.com]

[freya9699.livejournal.com]

OK I will look and see where that is in relavance to her since mom only just moved there so I don't know exact location yet. Hopefully it's close enough you can hitch a ride ;)

[synnoveaevael.livejournal.com]
