Good Morning and Welcome to Thursday the 21st day of February, 2019.
Today was my Grandmother’s Birthday.
She was born this date in 1901 and passed in 1998.
Last night just as I was getting ready to leave the office, I decided to quickly check on Facebook to see if I had a message from Teddy’s Aunt about walking.
When I noticed a message from my friend “V” back home …. she told me that a friend and co-worker from back home in Regina had passed away.
She only recently turned 56.
No forewarning.
She is way too young to be gone.
One of the smartest, most sharp witted, compassionate, friendly people I know.
She loved her family dearly which included fur-babies.
Always posting photos.
She will be missed.
I remember going to her for advice generally about work issues.
I always commented on her beautiful gold chains with a wide variety of charms/pendants, which she always wore in layers.
We will miss you our dear friend.
Sending my thoughts and prayers to my friend’s family and friends.
Having two people pass in close proximity of each other can really throw a curveball at one’s own mortality.
Makes you think about things.
Definitely have to be more aware of “sweating the small stuff.”
We are all guilty of that …..
Work harder and smarter about exercise and health.
Make certain that you tell your family and friends that you love them.
ALWAYS.
Today I am sad for all the missed memories these two great people will miss.
Not for what they would or could have done but for the memories.
The memories of graduations, weddings and grandchildren.
All of the important things, the real important things in life.
The people …..
I hope that you have a great Thursday.
Be safe, Be kind and Live your Life.
Special Hello: ALL my family and friends, I love you all more than words can say.
Always, Carol & Alvin
