what a day

I woke up this morning with reasonably high expectations for the day. Mom was coming over, I was going to make some cookies, go to work have a rather uneventful night and go see a movie with Joel. Well my day was saddened...around tweleve my time, I found out a close associate of mine when I was in Cali had died of a heart attack last night. He turned 60 one day before, on april 1st. It hasn't quite hit me yet but I know when it does it will be very hard. He was a great person, a brave man, he would do anything for anyone within his means, yeah he was an asshole, but he was a true blue person. I'll remeber him forever. I learned this from my significant other, and it made me re-realize that life is short, and that anything can happen to anyone at anytime....fate destiny ya know....and me, sister and all, should always remember and keep that close to my heart. I wonder how I forgot?
