Gone

Alex came in with tears in his eyes. His brother Kuy, who also works here, passed away rather suddenly on Wednesday. Was a total shock. He sat two cubicles away… I was teasing him just Tuesday about his haircut. He had called Tanya Wednesday morning not feeling so great and wanting to work from home. Must have been less than two hours later when cardiac arrest claimed him.

Alex was in the middle of pneumonia and had already been out of work two days. This stress also kicked-started his gout. Theo and I were worried about him all yesterday. So it was good to see him, know that he was ambulatory. Hated the familiarity of the waves of grief and shock he was radiating. Will need to attend the services on Monday.

Death. *sigh*
