You know some times I really love Facebook---keeping in touch with friends and relatives.. and reconnecting with people not seen in ages....
tonight I am not sure how I feel about it...because it has given me a link to an old friend who suffered a loss tonight that I cannot even fathom, and it brings to mind how fragile life can be...
I roomed with Tanya at Miami U our sophomore year, thrown together by the housing lottery. We recently reconnected on facebook and though we don't constantly bombard each other with daily greetings and such, we get a little insight into each other's lives and the things going on....tonight her post was such a positive sounding one, about her dad...he has just passed away after a long battle for his life. And her message was so full of the faith I ridiculed her for 23 years ago and have fought to find to that degree ever since. She is celebrating her father and the fact she was so blessed to have had him for a father......I know she mourns that he will not be there day to day, but she is choosing to show the positive....
I would like to think that I could do so in the same circumstance...but I don't know...I know I cried for her loss, especially in light of my own father's medical problems...it just brings to mind how things can change.
