Something happened at work last night with one of our guys. Not work related but I really can't talk about it. Just a reminder not to take life for granted. In the blink of an eye, it can be gone. We're all very upset. I'm finally allowing myself to think about it now. I had to push it away while at work. Cherish every moment and try not to take even the little things for granted.
Val, I'm so sorry for whatever it was that happened to your co-worker.
{{hugs}} to you.
It's so sad that it always takes something bad to happen in order for people to stop and smell the flowers and enjoy life.
Thanks for the reminder!!
I know that I cherish my cyber friends here on Pet Talk!!
{{{GROUP HUG!}}}
Val {{{hugs}}} My deep condolences to you and your co-workers. :(
I am glad you have your goofy Dasher there to hug...and I think he will stick by you; our babies know.
I am so sorry to hear this. Please take care.
Good advice, I am sorry about your co-worker.
Val,
I'm sorry for what you're having to go through. You are in my thoughts and prayers, Remember, God can only give you only what you can handle.
(((((((((((((HUGS)))))))))))))

A few months ago while we were both working, we got to talking about dogs and photography and all. I told him I was an amateur photographer. He asked me how much I charged to take pictures and I got a laugh out of it. I told him I had no idea because I'd never done it before. He's got a Basset Hound he dearly loves. I was going to get him, his wife and dog in photos. I wish to God he'd gotten back with me. He's in ICU very critical. Don't know if he'll make it or not. All your prayers to whomever you believe in would sure be appreciated.
PT Prayers for your co-worker and his family. I hope he gets through the first 24 hours...
{{{hugs}}} to all concerned.
Prayers for your co-worker, Val.... and thanks so much for the wonderful reminder!
I'm so sorry to hear this.:( I'll keep him and his family in my thoughts and prayers.
Tell your friend I am sorry, Val. In my case, I've been in a nursing home since late 2006. Before that, some time in the hospital.:(
Prayers going out to your friend, Val. I hope he'll be ok.
val, i'll be praying for your co worker and his family.
Prayers for your friend Val.
Prayers for your friend & you, Val.
I learned just a few minutes ago here at work that he's gone. He and his wife are strong Christians and he passed while she was with him. She's being a lot stronger than I think I could be. After things calm down, I'm going to contact her about making the photos of his dog that he wanted done. Life is short so life it with no regrets.
Very sorry for the loss. :( Prayers for his family.
I'm so sorry Val. :( I hope his wife is interested in you taking pictures of the dog.
I'm so sorry to hear that he's passed on.:( My thoughts and prayers are with his family.
So sad! Just so sad! I am sorry.

were resting on her shoulder in the casket.
Val...I am really sorry to hear this...he was alive for a while, and I hoped he would make it after the first 24 hours.
I like Phred's idea about the dig pic for the calling (if they are having one).
{{{{hugs}}}} and prayers for his family and loved ones.
Val, I'm very sorry about your coworker. Life doesn't always seem fair.
Please don't feel guilty about not taking the pictures. I know it's not easy. With work and home and always things to do, your friend put the picture on the back burner. I agree with Phred, a photo of his pup would be a nice touch. I put pictures of the family, Cody and Logan in with my mom (among other things).
Prayers for your co-worker and his family. Yes, life is so fragile, gone in an instant. I think they will really appreciate you taking pictures. :)
I'm going to contact his wife this evening and give her the option of getting the photos now. He was only 24 :(
Not sure how I missed this earlier but I'm so sorry about all of this. It's tough to lose someone at any age but so young, that's so sad.
I am so sorry about your friend. {{{{hugs}}}} I hope his wife is coping okay. I think she will be very happy to take the pictures with the dog soon.
THAT says it all, Val!Quote:
