Life After Death...

This week has being really weird for me and it's totally taken me by surprise. I didn't expect to be this affected by a tragic event that happened last Thursday. When I first heard the news I had no idea how much it was going to impact my world.

Last Saturday, while I was in Rochester, my boss called to tell me that someone I knew had passed away. I hadn't been close to the person in quite some time but nonetheless the news was hard to hear. I had spoken to him only the week before and even that was a fluke because he only called me because he thought he was calling somebody else. He sounded down, him and his partner of 8 yrs had just broken up the day before. That news at the time was shocking as Gary & Michael were inseparable in my mind. To learn that they split in some way took a hit at my hope that I'll ever be able to find something like that for myself. Anyway Michael sounded disappointed obviously but he also had a hint of optimism saying that they were going to "do it right". When you spend so much time with someone you get used to sharing your life, to walk away from that isn't the easiest thing to do...
