sigh

A co-worker's father just died. Suddenly. She [my co-worker] was sitting there, working away, and her phone rang...and then she just kind of crumpled and started sobbing. My heart aches for her...and if I'm brutally honest, it's aching for me too. Seeing her get that call brought back that Friday when Dad had to call me about Mom...and it hurts even more, knowing that there is another phone call in my future about my own dad.Yes, it's life. Yes, it happens to all of us. But that doesn't make it ache any less.
