Funny, my day this morning started so normal and I was feeling up. I was working back and forth between two beta projects. Finally getting things done. I took some time this afternoon to do a little food shopping, do some laundry and get myself ready for life.

This afternoon I signed in and then I seen it. KC's mom lost the battle and had passed away. I know too well what that is like. i can relate and sympathize with his loss. For each person that loss affects them differently. For some it is a release from the past and perhaps what crippled them, for others it is the loss of the chance to get answers, or the loss of a best friend as well as a parent. What each person feels and how they deal with it is different.

I believe I am like most. You see someone's grief and want to help, but you can't help relating it back to yourself. I remember my mother's passing, feeling lost, but also having to hold up my father and brother. I was the rock. The one who took everyone's pain, comments, and kept going. I was the family support. My brother had his wife, my father had my brother and I. I had myself. It would be a month later that a close friend took me in her arms and wouldn't let me go till I finally cried myself out. The rock cracked and pain finally poured out.

So now all I can think of is my friend, KC. Someone I like personally and hope that whatever prayers and thoughts can bring him comfort find him now. May God or whatever force is out there in the universe bring him and his family peace.
