03-17-22 Rest In Peace, sweet friend
I had another productive day, began filing tax returns to get the list down to manageable and made lists to power through. After I left the office I stopped at the theatre to take pictures of the two camera options for viewing the stage from the monitors, sending them to Keon to source what we still need to connect one. As I left there I saw news that my friend of 30 years or so has died… from Cancer. I saw her when last I was in Vancouver, Dec of 2019 and have been following closely. She was always such a vivacious human being and the beast beat her down. I am grateful she got to meet her Grandson and that her three kids have each other. It doesn’t matter that they are adults, you always need your Mom. The weird thing is I am not having an emotional response to the news. I suspect my remain calm at all costs mentality right now is protecting me. I will go for a walk along the water some day and remember how much she loved the ocean and downtown Vancouver and Vegas and England and everyone she called friend or family. There is a hole shaped like her in the energy tonight. I honour our friendship and am grateful for having known her. There was a time in the 90s and early 2000’s when we would just think of the other and one of us would call. It used to spook us. Life and distance got in the way but I still hold her dear. RIP my Deb
