Staying in touch ...

We should all do it. It's taken me this long to be able to write about this.

The Friday before Memorial Day, I stumbled across a posting on Tribe.net regarding a man I considered a friend. The posting was about his death, the day before my birthday, last year. I had not known and I was absolutely crushed. For me, it was like it had just happened, only there would be no closure for me.

I only wish I had stayed in contact with people so I could have at least gone to his memorial service, as he died and was buried out of country.

Do what you can to stay in touch with the people you care about. You never know.
