August 25, 2005A Good LifeWent to a wake last night. A work acquaintance from back in my MyPoints days lost his wife to ovarian cancer. I've been to about as many funerals as weddings, which is not a good statistic to have at my age. Right up until I got to the funeral home, it was cake. Then I started thinking about what it would be like to be 35 years old, happily married, with two beautiful kids...only to find out that that I had ovarian cancer. That's when I started getting a little shaky. By the time I pulled into the parking lot, I wasn't sure what would happen when I got inside. Got out of the car, crossed the street and met up with Jeff. When we went inside, I was blown away! There were about 150 people, and the noise level was what you might find in a popular restaurant on a Friday night. The mood was was all over the place, you had clusters of people laughing as they reconnected and shared stories, other folks were crying, but regardless of what they were doing, they were being emotional. Mary's life clearly affected many people. I sure hope I have that same effect on people around me. Posted by carolyn at August 25, 2005 01:37 PM CommentsI have no doubt that you do, kiddo. None.
