One of my coworkers died a couple of days ago. I found out at work yesterday, and it just put a damper on my whole day.
He was one of the utility clerks, and he was an older man, too. He had been undergoing kidney dialysis for a while, and I guess his health hadn't been good, but he never let it get in the way of doing his job. Dave was very helpful and nice, and I really liked working with him.
On a similar note, my great-uncle Glen isn't doing very well. He had a biopsy, and it turns out he has cancer practically all over. He's at the VA hospital in Houston, and...the thing is, what we've heard is that it's not as bad as we think it is and that it can be treated, but the fact that it's pretty much all over isn't good. Mom was just on the phone with Vivion, and Viv's already talking about a caravan down to Houston for when he kicks it. That's just being morbid because he's not dead yet. And we just jumped through a bunch of hoops with Grandma Cozie's arrangements, and as much as I love Uncle Glen, I can't just take time off of work to travel down to Houston for him, which sucks.
So I'm praying for him and Aunt Roberta.
