I must confess that I am surprised by how much this has all bothered me. Never even met the guy. Poor Patience.
I met him, and he was lovely, but I'm also surprised at how hard this has hit me.
I guess that everyone who I've known and liked that has died before has been older, and not a part of my 'peer group'. Parents, grandparents, etc.
The majority of people I care about are in their 30s, and it just makes you think about them all. Eeesh.
I'm just so happy that people have managed to raise so much money for Patience. I can't imagine what she's going through.
