Sad that my dear Co-worker Kev has died last week. He was in remission with cancer for 12 years, and then after an infection the cancer came back last year - he didn't want to believe it until the end I think. I had a feeling that it was bad but no idea it was that bad, so am gutted.
Also I noticed that we all seem to be sad because we lose people - which makes me aware that the young ones we were when this community started are now getting on in age, which also in some way makes me sad.

This is minor compared with some things, but -
It makes me sad when I'm on the phone with some call center person and they keep saying "I wish all my customers were like you!" I don't think I'm unusually nice, just trying to be sympathetic and kind to someone who has a really shitty job.

I had an initial meeting with work to discuss my phased return and was told that my colleague has been diagnosed with breast cancer. I don't know all the details but hoping they have caught it early.

That is sad tucano. These days though, the prognosis is usually good.

Hugs, psw.
I’ve been informed of two deaths of people I value in the past few days. One appears to have died in his sleep, quite unexpectedly. He was posting about ongoing projects last week on Facebook. The other lost his wife a few years ago, and was quite fragile. His daughter was with him.

Young children whose ambition in life is to become gamers. Inspired by older family members who spend all their time playing online games.

Facebook has reminded me that today is our dear Mei's birthday. I've just gone onto her page and read through the beautiful things people posted after she left us last year.

The graffiti on the walls of the Gestapo prison cells in the basement of the museum today. So poignant and so tragic and in so many ways so eloquent.
