I have made this goal my mantra. Sounds selfish, but I consider it a lesson learned via hard experience.
Today I lost a friend who I cared for very much and I know he cared for me too. He worked for me, but he was so much more than an employee, he was a true friend. Three weeks ago it all started when he had a slight pain in his chest and today he passed.
Two weeks ago he had a double bypass at age 52 and everything appeared to go well. He was sitting up in a chair hitting on a cute nurse just 24 hours after the surgery. I was worried, but everything looked good. I was looking forward to his return to work after a long recovery.
On day two he experienced complications, feel into a coma, and had to be placed on a respirator. Today at 4:22am, two weeks after his surgery, he died. I’m still numb and I can’t believe that he is gone. This morning at work I had to tell his co-workers and friends what happened. It was one of the hardest things that I have ever done. After work I just sat in his work area for hours and I miss him.
He cared for me and I truly cared for him!
I so need to ride my bike and clear my head….....
