Gone Too Soon

Sunday, March 14th, 2010

Death is a part of life. We all know that as soon as we start living, we start dying. However, that does not make it easier when we hear of someone dying.

I have been blessed in that I have not known too many people that have died and nobody in my immediate family. This is a contrast to my parents who knew death early and close. But I have known some people who have died. Recently it was my favourite professor from grad school (last year) and most recently, as in today, I learned of a cruise ship friend that just passed away. Right now, I don’t the cause, but I know I can’t believe it.

The thing is, with these last two deaths, I was able to speak with the two people pretty recently before it. Even though we didn’t speak that often. And that’s what make it weird – the saying, “but they were fine yesterday.”

I don’t even know where this post is going. It’s just a weird thing to wake up to, the news of someone’s passing.

This post is dedicated to C.G. – Rigger and his family and friends. Blessings to all who knew him. He was a great friend.
