I'm sitting at work and I can't concentrate. I just looked at my Outlook Contacts list and lost my train of thought....
Brent Steffey is in my contacts list. I learned this morning that he died a couple of days ago. He was probably 34. I never asked. I wish I had. An autopsy will hopefully tell us what took him away so young. He was fine on Sunday. He ate sushi that day with my family in Arizona. That's what we do on Sundays - Easter or not.
Lisa Whittaker is in my contacts list. She died of breast cancer last year. I just can't hit the delete button. I don't want to. When I see her name I remember her. Sometimes I smile - sometimes I get sad.
My Grandparents' birthdays will pop up in my reminders for years to come, because I can't hit delete.
We aren't here long. I'm going to enjoy it all. Please join me.
I was a good friend of Brent's, and cannot believe he is gone. He was an awesome friend and confidant. I will miss him terribly. My sympathies to you and your family.
