I lost two very important people yesterday. On Wednesday morning my step father found my mother in bed with no pulse and not breathing. He performed CPR and the EMT's came. She's been in the hospital all week and the neurologist declared her brain dead on Friday night. Protocol dictates a second exam within at least 6 hours so on Sat morning it was confirmed. All family flew in and we removed her ventillator at 1pm yesterday - she passed in peace, in no pain, at the age of 75.
At midnight last night a good friend, who I hadn't heard from in awhile called - thinking it was random I spoke with him and told him of my loss. Just this morning another friend messaged me that my good friend had also passed in a horrible car accident on Sat in the Connecticut snow. He was a dear friend who I worked with and went to school with, he was only 36. I called the first buddy today who told me that he didn't have the heart to tell me about my friend on the same day that my Mom passed.
We don't own our lives, these are gifts that we lease and have to turn in at some point. Tell your loved ones what's on your mind, be honest, and be truthful. I called/texted my buddy yesterday about my Mom and thought it was strange he didn't respond b/c we always talk. Now I want to tell my Mom about his passing and want to tell him about hers - shit sucks.
