I had a friend at work who would come to my office at lunch time and remind me to stop working and have lunch. I'd be stuck on a problem and want to keep working on it, and he'd insist that I stop. He say that if I took some time away, I'd come back with the solution, and he was usually right.

He would also stop by my office at the end of the day to remind me to go home. I worked with him almost 20 years.

He retired in November of 2023 and passed away in June of 2024. I still miss him.

    That life isn't a fairy tale. Some live the "ideal life" and a lot of others don't. I'm one of the don't and need to be reminded that it's not abnormal, things don't just work out for everyone.

    That even though 100% of people I trusted have let me down, it does not mean that the next one will.
