(no subject)
So my weekend started out nicely. I woke up friday morning to see melis and then off to work at the auction house melis even brought me lunch(woohoo). At about 5, before the auction started my dad came in and pulled me out of the busyness and told me that my former boss Tom Christman passed away that afternoon.
He went down for a nap at like one o clock and didn't wake up. Maybe no one knows but I really liked this guy. He was kind of an asshole boss and hard to work for, but I really liked him, and i know that he liked me. I have a lot of fond memories of him tring to bestow all his life lessons on me, he had 3 daughters and 2 granddaughters. And he despretely wanted a boy and at times i think i was the closest thing to a son he had. That kind of sounds sappy but kinda true. He trusted me alot, even enough to encouraged me to date his youngest daughter and I know that he was dissapointed when it didn't work out between us. He told once not directly but through his own tommy talk that he wanted me as a son-in-law, but that wasn't going to happen. I'm just so sad.
I wish that i didn't have to stop working for him this summer. I still had soo much to learn from him, but like he sad "school is much more important then this shit." I guesw he was right. They said he had a heart attack when he was sleeping. He just worked himself to death. Which is really the way to go just never wake up one day. The eternal sleep, is really what he deserved. He worked so hard to provide for his family. Working 2 jobs one of which included running a whole company. I feel so bad for his family, his three daughters have to be devestaded and i don't know what i'm going to say.
There isn't anything that i can say. I just wish there was some indication that something like this was going to happen. It was totally out of left feild.
I'm just so sad. Even though I've seen him only a few times since i stopped working with him I miss him. I miss the comfort of his knowlegde. I know that if I wasn't sure about a plan of action all i had to do was give him a call and i'd know what to do. I didn't think I was going to be so sad.
I'm just sad.
Tom where ever you are I hope you can finally take a little rest, maybe even a vacation. I just hope they have mussels and clams up there. Save some for me.
