Back to reality

Just when you think everything is going great, something happens to knock you back into reality. I went to work on April 29 just like another day. Everything was get or so it only seemed. Then on of my co-worker can up to me and said she need to speak to me. (this only happen when there is a issue with another co-worker.) We went into the a back room and she proceed to tell me that one of our xray tech had had a heart attach and didn't make it. He was 50 years . I was shocked. Here was so many tears that day. I am not sure how we all functioned and kept it all together in front of the patients. Last Wednesday was the memorial service. So it has not been a great week at work. I will really upset last weekend by it. Steve asked me if I knew he really well. I said that I have known him for 10 years and spend more time with him a day then my husband. I knew all about his family's ups and downs.
But after I grasp the concept that he really gone, I have been reminded that life is short . Sometimes you think death is only for old people, but it can happen at anytime. Thank god everyday that you are able to get up and go to the job that you may not like all much. That you are able to talk on the phone to loved ones far away (may not be able to see then in person but take what you can get.) Remember always to let loved ones know that you do love them.

I have had a hard week but it also reminded me not to take things for granted.

I'm so sorry for you. It's always a shock when you lose someone you've known for so long without any warning. Things like that do make you remember not to take life for granted. Hope you have a better week. Evette x
