shortst101's Diaryland Diary

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rest in peace Chris.

I had a call this morning from someone I used to work with. Another past co-worker had died yesterday morning. From ALS (Lou Gehrig's Diease). He was 59 years old. He never let anyone know that he was sick. He hid himself away for the last year so others wouldn't know, wouldn't feel sorry for him. He died not knowing just how much people really cared for him and how people thought about him. That makes me sad. He was a loner. He was hard on himself. He was depressing. He was weird, but aren't we all. He was an arrogant, self centered man...but that's who he was and if you were one of the lucky one's to get past that initial arrogance, you came to realize what a wonderful and caring man he really was.

There will be no funeral. No gathering of friends. Just the wind blowing as he passes from this life to another.

Chris, you will be missed. May you finally be able to rest in peace.
