Mortality

[bunsen_h]

I finally got on my duff and started writing a note to the guy I shared a room with during my first stay in hospital.  My stamina for sitting at the computer is still poor; the blog that his family set up to inform his friends about his progress mentioned only that he'd started chemo and was having complications with his feeding tube.  I figured there wasn't any great rush.

Before I sent the note, I decided to do another search on his name.  I found his obituary; it seems that he passed away on January 5th.

I never really got to know him well, but he was a nice guy, and our conversations helped make a lousy time a bit less miserable for both of us.  RIP Gary Cybulski.

Very sorry to hear about that. Even though you didn't have the chance to get to know him as you had hoped, it is still a sad loss.

Awwww. That is very, very sad. :(
I feel for his family.

And very glad we still have you.

I am glad you were able to take some of each others' pain away. I hope that his family is comforted by his memory.

*hugs you*
