Yes, things pass. Everything does. Everyone does. Doesn't make it any easier.
Someone I knew died. It's been awhile, but the memorial is coming up soon. He wasn't young, and he'd been sick, but still, there is a sadness when a life flies off this plane of existence, and you have to think about it again.
He was a special guy - although we knew each other over 35 years we only met once in person, at a memorial! A dear friend introduced us, through a play I wrote, and he called me to ask if it was all right to pass my name along to his brother and sister-in-law, as they needed a writer, and he thought I would be right for their project.
Thirty five years later, I still work with them, even though they are in their 90s now, and illness has slowed them a bit, they are more than people I work with, they are dear friends, who have shared in my life, laughed with me, and helped my family through some very difficult times.
I cried when I heard about his passing. Crying is hard for me. I do not like to cry. Boys don't cry. And I am a girl who played with the boys - so I could not cry or else they would not play with a crybaby!
But I have learned to let out my feelings......it has taken time, and tears. And today I let a few tears go for someone I met only once, but who changed my world forever.
Go with God, Stan Kallis - and rest in peace.
