What a day. An early morning at work (that arrived WAY too early) and then a little bit of relaxing. Originally I was going to head over to Brandon's but Brad called and let me know that the first viewing for a friend of our's Mother was starting around 5. She had been diagnosed with terminal cancer about 3 1/2 years ago and was only given a few months to live. Instead she gave her family 3 more years of time that they won't soon forget. And during those trying times we'd be over to their house for New Years Eve, watching games, playing some poker, hanging out, etc. That's something I'll always remember. Well, she lost her battle Friday afternoon and very soon afterward the arrangemenst were made. I ended up spending time up at the funeral home for a bit before I ran back home for the night. A surreal kind of day.
Events like that really put a lot in perspective. For instance, I'm happy the Tigers beat the Red Sox again earlier on, but there a many more important things than a baseball game. Many more.
In my life,
B
