I was all prepared to write a post today about how boring my life is. But I checked my email and just got a message from my friend Kol from college. His little girl had Tay-Sachs disease and while they knew she wouldn't live very long, they didn't know just how short her time with them was. She passed away yesterday afternoon after a short battle with pneumonia. I just remember what a jerk he could be sometimes during school and how this precious little girl turned him into a big ol' softie.
I've gotten news in the past several weeks of other friends' family members passing away -- one young man after a fall and another's father-in-law in a motorcycle accident. While each of these is sad, neither hit me like little Emily's passing. I'm glad that she'll be watching over her parents now.
