Fragile

After my post in the wee hours of Saturday morning, I was pleasantly surprised when the weekend was very enjoyable. I received a surprise delivery, had dinner paid for, caught up with some friends I hadn't spent much time with of late - I was a very happy girl.

But today we were dumbfounded, and reminded that life is so so fragile.

I have not been able to stop thinking about Rob since Ben called around 4.30 this afternoon. I could not believe then and still cannot quite grasp what he told me 7 hours ago. I will not claim to have been very close to Rob, but it doesn't change the fact that I felt this sadness and helplessness wash over me. It couldn't be true. You think you know someone...

Why did he not tell anyone? Ask for help? Something, anything at all to indicate. It's too late to ask the whys now.

Rob, I hope you've found peace where you are. You will be missed.
