Life can be strange and fleeting...


Well, I was going to post about the progress on the mitts that I am making my mother that are almost finished. I was also going to post the pictures of the gorgeous yarn from blue moon that I received in the raven series. However, all of that seems ridiculous, pointless and who gives a shit about yarn right now? I am at a loss for words. One of the associates that worked in our office died suddenly on Sunday. He was running on a treadmill at the gym. He collapsed, his heart stopped and he is dead. He was 50 years old and in seemingly perfect health. I just do not know what to say about it. His wife is, of course, devastated. He is survived by three children, one in college and two in grade school. I can't imagine having to tell my children that their father is dead and they will never talk to him or get hugs from him again. I just do not know what to say. The funeral is Thursday at 11:00 am. The firm will shut down and we will all attend the furneral. My thoughts are with his family right now.
