So I found out my Old yard supervisor at CN, Derek Rhodes lost his battle to lung cancer today.
Im quite down about the whole thing really..and to top it all off, i feel sick as a mother fuck and my wisdom teeth are starting to hurt.
I only new Derek through work. We never hung out outside of the job, never talked outside of work, but at the yard we were pretty good friends. He always would make me laugh when it was thought I couldnt. It was odd to think that despite the 40 year age differance that we got along so well...its strange cause I barely get along with people my age.
So ive been sitting here all day thinking about how another person I worked with...that I considered family to me has been taken away. First it was my friend Gerald at CN enforcement...and now Derek....and this makes two funerals the company wont let me go to.
Im not makin any sense here probably...but do I care...nah
Heres to you Derek
