Found out yesterday that a family friend died the other day. It was completely unexpected - he was found sitting in his car in a parking lot. Maybe a heart attack, but there'll be some sort of investigation/inquest thing, since he was alone, travelling, no visible cause of death etc.
I thought I was handling it okay - it's been at least 10 years since I last saw him - but after having a panic attack last night and then bursting into tears while on the phone to mum, I guess not. He was a good guy, and he had a family, and he was healthy, and younger than both of my parents, and I just don't deal well with mortality. People I care about aren't supposed to die.
So it may be a day or two until I start posting/commenting much again. In the meantime, give the people you love a hug or say something nice to them - you just never know what will happen :(
