Mixed Signals - version ? who's counting

[catfan]

OK a bit further journaling and thought posting.

A co-worker of my wife's had a massive heart attack late last week and died. I worked with him often but didn't know real well when I worked at the same place. I do believe he was in his mid 30s, so fairly young. Sadly he has a son who has extensive health problems. Over the last year has been revived a number of times because of complications.

This has been in the back and mid of my mind since it happened. Today is his funeral and it sounds like most of the folks at my old company will be attending. But what I and a few other folks have been thinking about is how precious life is, how it's important to take care of ourselves as well as our loved ones. It puts into perspective what is important in life.

So last night my wife and I were talking about the arrangements and all and I mentioned how this really put things in perspective. She agreed. Out of the blue I asked her out to dinner. Honestly I wasn't thinking and she quickly accepted.

So mixed signals, you darn right and right now I think I am as guilty of sending them as she is. But for me this is starting to help me refocus on what's important.

For Derrick, may God bless you. I didn't know you well but I know you were a very good man.
