late start today...but the busy nature of the day was probably the best therapy for me..."my Lisa" and our colleagues recruited me into helping "set-up" for a basket bingo event...we'd planned this months ago...to raise funds to develop a scholarship fund in memory of dear Linda, our Hospice social worker who passed away in an automobile accident just before the New Year...New Year's...seems so far back...I still had Adam then...I still had my normal life....still had laughs, smiles, hopes and dreams...although shaken by Linda's loss...and quite saddened for her family. I remember thinking about each one of them when she died...I thought of her husband...her loving children...she, like me, would come to the office with smiles and stories of Leah and George...and she'd listen as I'd talk about my two guys...now Linda and I...are alike in other ways...her family is longing for her...and we long for our departed Adam...and when Adam passed...an almost immediate thought surfaced...thinking that it would be Linda's warm embrace welcoming my son into Heaven's gates...so many good people died way too young...and it's on us now to wonder how and why?
