The Sadest Day Ever...

[skripalani]

Friday started out as any other day. Nothing too interesting, work was long, I was getting off work and looking for my boss when I realized he had already left. This was very weird, but I just put it up to him wanting to start the weekend early. I went to home, went out, came home crashed.... and so my day went... Around 9:00AM I got a call from Cathy from work. Ofcourse I found this very weird, after all she never calls me and on a weekend, that's almost unheard of.... I answered and said, "Hey, what's up?" She said, "Nick's daughter died yesturday, the funeral is tomorrow, can you come?" Ofcourse at that moment I felt the wind knocked out of me... Nick is my boss, and for those who know, his daughter is his first born, only child and 10 months of age. I never knew anything was wrong with her, and my boss has always been this strong anchor for the whole company... to imagine anything happening to him was just unheard of... His baby girl, the one who he has pictures of all over his office. The one whos picture is on his desktop... that baby girl...

Her lungs just gave out on her... she had problems with her immune system. I have worked for the same company for 5 years and never have I seen my boss so broken. The funeral today was a typical muslim funeral... it was somber and filled with prayers.... my heart broke to see the beautiful baby girl laying in the casket. I didn't know what to say or so... I just went to my boss and said, "I'm sorry..."

I've been thinking about this all day... It was the saddess thing I have ever seen.... Her name was Simin, which means Silver... I don't really know what else to say, my heart is completely broken for my boss and his wife... I don't understand... It doesn't make sense.... It seems so unfair...
