peter sent me a text to tell me he is going back to bed. I offered him the same offer as you.. call me anytime... I am always there for a dear friend no matter the time. Joanna has taken me up on it.. and I am always grateful when someone thinks enough of me to reach out and accept the offer.

Last week Simon (co-worker) asked me in a quiet moment how I was... i could tell it was more than just a casual question. I asked him what he meant. he said that if he had just lost his best friend, he'd be in rough shape. it a was a hard question to answer, since he does not know the back-story with the Toad Queen.. and what it means.
I told him i was doing ok... but at work I am expected to come in and do my job and they have a business to run, so would not appreciate a basket case. He said he figured things bothered me more than they showed. i him he was right... that I cried everyday. just not at work. Simon has been the only person that has come right out and asked me or approached me up front about your loss. But i understand.. most people don't know what to say... they are perhaps afraid of saying the wrong thing.. it is uncomfortable for them. I get it. I found it very touching that Simon asked about me... he related a story of his loss too... grade 9 girlfriend work up one day with a headache... they found out she had 2 brain tumors and from summer to October 1st she died. Simon was devastated. I felt honored he shared that with me.
It just seems to illustrate the unfairness of it all.
