My office manager's brother was involved in a freak accident during the storms a couple of weeks ago. Lighting hit a large tree and it fell on him. After two surgeries, he still hadn't regained any feeling below the neck. This week he asked to be taken off the ventilator, and the funeral is tonight. He was my age.

I've been here since 1999. I remember going from my last job to thyroid surgery to this job three days later. I've been here ever since. It's a small office, and I'm the last employee hired. We're at half-staff now, compared to back then. We've seen too many family members pass away over those years.

It is sad. And since I've been here, my dad, the officer manager's sister, a closing agent's wife and the parents of an appraiser here have all died.
Thanks.

That is so sad. And so random. It's those kind of things that scare me most- the ones you never see coming and change everything.

me too. There's no protection from that.

That is so sad. And scary, too, because when something like that happens it makes us realize how fragile life is. Take care.

honestly it's been a lousy week, but I'm hoping the next will be better. You take care, too.

I may be a few days late, but this is so sad to hear. It kinda reminds us that such a dramatic change can happen just like that, that life is really fragile.
big big hugs to you *hug*

I had a terrible week. But hearing from you helps. And the girls and I have a vid show set for tonight so that's going to be great!

Late as usual, but still very heartfelt {{{{{hugs}}}}}

It's never easy to lose someone, but such a freak accident is especially awful :-(
