a man i knew passed away monday night. while i didn’t find out about until tuesday morning, the impact is still the same. while i didn’t always agree with him, our relationship improved vastly in the past few weeks…now i’ll never know if we could’ve become friends beyond our employee/employer relationship.
from what we know, he suffered a massive heart attack…i suppose he didn’t suffer much, though i wonder what his last thoughts were. was it of his family who were trying to call him back to this earth…or was it unfinished business he’s yet to do in his life…or, and i shudder to think this, was it the unfinished projects that’s waiting for him at work, on his desk.
whatever it is, it doesn’t matter now…i’m saddened by the news, and i’m not quite sure how else i feel about it. i just remember leaving with him out of the building on friday afternoon, seeing an extra airy-ness about him as he leaves for vacation. little does he (or i) know it was a permenant vacation he’s departing on.
so that’s it.
to all, contemplate the fagility of life, and embrace all that you have. maybe you won’t live each day like it’s your last…but shouldn’t the thought at least cross your mind to make the most of the day lest you don’t see tomorrow?
