...just how lucky I am. As I was working with a customer (I am a "shoe pig" by trade), I was catching bits and pieces of a news cast coming over the local radio station. I heard "flipped over...truck...fatal...". And then my customer asked, "where is Vanier Drive?". My heart just sank. Thoughts running through my head....Darren was supposed to be around there just about now...we drive a truck...oh...my...god...please don't let it be him. It was 5pm when I heard that, and Darren was due to pick me up at 5:30. Tick tock, tick tock. Don't panic. Don't panic. Breath, breath. Why the hell is the phone not ringing????
I look at my watch, it's 5:29 and he still hasn't shown up. I go through the list of people I might need to call to take me out to look for Darren. 5:31. Thank the ^*&^9 Lord, there he is!!!!!!! The love of my life is alive and well and walking upright!!!!!!
Have you ever known a love so strong, that you don't know what you would do if it was taken away from you? I do. I do. I do.

Heather, nice post. I felt your writing, felt the rise of blood to my face.
Skuj is a dude.
I do. I am living with it every day. Hold dear to the ones you love. You never know when it will be your last moment. No regrets, love Aunt Pam
