Been a rough week already. From Friday to Sunday, over the course of three days, three people in our lives died.

Died. No longer with us. Never to be seen, visited, or spoken with again.

The first we didn’t know too well. Friend of a friend. Possibly a couple more “of a friend”‘s in there.

The second was a recently retired professional acquaintance. Respected, but not too well known.

The third, and least expected, was a close friend, and the father to my daughter’s best friend. A pretty rough shock.

It’ll be a bit before things are fully back to normal, such as it is. For now, just accept: not much activity for the next week or so.
