The Day of Tragady

[clearmind]

What follows is a post I just made in Something Awful about the events of the day. I think it's best if I just copy/paste what I wrote. Keep in mind there's a part that isn't easy to read. It's noted clearly.

Thank you for sharing with us. It's a terrible tragedy =/ Sometimes God takes people without warning.

Death is there to remind us that we're alive, but only for awhile. Savor each instant.

It reminds me a lot of Dead Like Me... I'm glad it didn't fall on you.

I didn't want to admit it, but there was a point where I thought this was a 'Dead Like Me' episode.

Kind of sounds like one, with the scaffolding and all.
You should get a name for your face.

Flat, wow... that would be so surreal to me I'm not sure it would stick.

How are you doing today?

I just realized I work 2 blocks away from you on Boylston (#399).

[clearmind]

Doing OK and trying to get back to work. We had a small bug in roommate pulls, so I'm back in the swing of things.

Hey, arn't we going to have lunch at some point?

[michalita]

Indeed, we are :) Kinda gross out today -- let me know when you have some time.

Pick a day!

He was a good friend of mine, Michael Ty. He was compassionate, deeply caring, sensitive with a great sense of humor. He was well on his way of becoming a great physician. I tell you this so that you have something to attach to that face you saw; I tell you this because it's obvious that you care.

Thank you for sharing with me and the rest of the readers here.

It goes without saying, but we all share in morning for your loss.

Wow. Thank you for sharing that.
