sad news

[Guest guest]

Don't know why I feel compeled to tell you this, especially since I haven't

posted anything in weeks. I have been reading

just about everything, though.

Here goes anyway -

The receptionist at my physical therapist went kayaking a week ago in a local

lake (there's lots around me) and has dissapeared.

They are still searching the lake for her.

She apparently has comitted suicide. She came from an horrible family, and the

fact that her daughter wouldn't let her

see her new baby - a first granddaughter - put her over the edge. She called

everyone at work the night before telling them

she wouldn't be at work the next day, borrowed a friends kayake, and hasn't been

seen since. The kayake was in the lake

empty, and her car is still parked at her friend's house.

I found all this out from my daughter's doctor yesterday. I heard the story of

it from my kids, but thought it was just a rumor. You

know how kids tell stories.

And sure enough, I found the story on my computer. (Haven't been reading the

local news much lately)

This is so devistating to me. She wasn't a friend, but I had many talks with

her.

I was always complaining about my pain problems to her. If I had only known

about her pain, I wouldn't have complained to her.

It was all just me, me, me.

It amazes me that as we go about our daily lives, and come in contact with

different people, that we don't have any clue as to

what's going on in their lives.

We should all try to remember this when we come across a rude or unfriendly

person. We really don't know why they are acting the way they are, and it

could be something terrible. This woman was never rude (she did always seem

like she'd rather be somwhere

else), but I think you know what I mean.

Thanks for reading. It just makes me feel better to write stuff down when it's

bothering me.
