when you try your best, but you don't succeed...
life is full of all these events. the good, the bad, and the ones that you just roll with. lately, i had been granted with many of those good events. after graduation, the trip, and my birthday, it was like i was just driving along in my new car, but then i hit a speedbump in the road that made me slow down. death is a strange thing, you know. i'm not sure one single event has ever caused me to think as much as death. yesterday, a woman that i greatly respected and admired passed away. judy was my manager at work for the past few years. she'd been fighting cancer longer than i had known her, but she was never the type to complain or let it show that she was hurting. she even worked up until about a month ago. even though her bad days seemed to outweigh the good ones, she kept on going. if i'm ever in her type of situation, i can only hope to be as strong as she was. so here's to a life well-lived. i hope you know how much you meant to me, i'm sorry i never took the chance to tell you.
