I think there are times when people deserve a break. Last night one of my oldest friends father passed away. This was a friend who just lost his twin brother in December to a car accident. Also the man who called me the 4th son they didn't want at one point... basically family. While i know it had been a while for the most part, and really being one of the "family" to them. Anyway... so i found out he was in the hospital, and my dad said he wasn't doing well when he went to see him. So i wanted to go by to sit w/ my friend for a while.. since he was going to be there all night. Well, i show up to find out he had passed away. It was a nurse who told me, b/c no family was there. So i went to the house. I checked in on Mrs. Hooper, and saw Dan, he was back from college, and i missed my friend and his wife by about 10 min. It was a night of just misses i guess. Though for some reason, even if i feel bad saying it, i think it was good for me to just miss. I shall remember him how last i saw him. Which is a good thing. Plus it saved a little bit of my emotion... and didn't drain me like i thought it would.
So the service is going to be this thursday, 4pm, i am going to leave work early, i guess i am glad i can use my sick time, even for stuff i wasn't supposed too... and while my boss is a crazy bitch sometimes, who really just backtalks and i don't think she will back me up... this is one area where she is pretty decent. Work wasn't the easiest... my mind wasn't there. Though i did talk to Kerry, haven't talked to her since i went up to albany to help w/ her ticket... well just get her to the court house, but it was dismissed and went well. She lives next door to the hoopers, i called her to let her know... We shoudl really hang out... so calls like this just don't happen...
