Mortality
My friend from college died this week. She was 3 months older then me. 28 years old, and has a 13 month old daughter. Its hard to deal with, it hits me at the weirdest times. Even though she had been sick for a while, and the doctors wernt expecting much, its still so shocking, for a while there she was doing so well, and then she's gone.
Today Peter had his first Halloween party at his MyGym class. A mom was there with her son and she had a scarf covering her hair loss from chemo. Rather then seeing her and being happy that she was healthy and strong enough to be able to play with her son it just made me think of Sarah and how she wont be able to play with her daughter. I dont know how much she was ever able to play with her daughter, since she was sick for so long. I dont know what I would do if I couldnt play with Peter.
There are times when I'm tired and just want him to go play with himself or go take a nap. Now I feel guilty for thinking that. I havnt been able to put him down much this week. I hope I continue to realize how precious he is.
I hope all of you take a look at your life and try and get back in touch with old friends, and keep your family close, and enjoy every little joy of life.
