Well, Sunday night the cold I'd been fighting off for several days hit with one of those keep-you-up-all-night post-nasal drips, and by Monday morning I was hoarse. It was a good thing I didn't have to sing anymore!
But far worse was the phone call I got at lunchtime. As I started in on my sandwich, my cell phone rang. I looked down and recognized my cousin's phone number. He calls me occasionally so we can touch base, but I'd just seen him a week before, when mrs tg and I were in MD. So I was pretty sure this couldn't be good news.
I had no idea.
He was calling to tell me that his sister's husband had died unexpectedly. I'd only met the guy once, but I know how happy my cousin had become with him over the past few years. What a blessing he was for her.
Here are links to a couple articles in the Bend Bulletin, for which he wrote. I don't know how long they'll remain accessible.
I hardly knew the guy, and I still miss him.
How sad.
