Your biggest surprise this year (good or bad)
My biggest surprise came a few days ago. Someone I am friends with on facebook (and who I served with when I was in Wichita) apparently was in the hospital some months ago for a lengthy period of time. I had no idea he got in a bad motorcycle accident. Then I started looking at other recent photos he put up and I noticed something about his arm (which appeared bandaged up and much shorter). One of his friends confirmed that he lost his left arm during the accident. In addition, I had no idea this guy was "brought back" after I read the news report that he was initially found at the scene not breathing!
I'm glad that he's alive, but I'm so surprised to hear about all of this! If any of you ride a motorcycle, please be careful.

I just got a phone call today from a friend of mine in Kansas. It appears that his wife (who is also a friend of mine) suffered a major stroke - a really bad one - that that will likely put her in care for the rest of her life. It happened in June, about only a week or so after I last talked to her when she told me she already had a minor one some months before.
No words can describe how I feel about it.

I found out that a significant college friend had cancer from Facebook and was in a hospital in Maryland. I had been to DC twice during the previous two months on business, and if I had known he was ill I would have visited him. He had been sick for a while but was being quiet about it so he wouldn't worry other people. I hated myself for not keeping closer tabs on my friends. He died not long after I found out about his situation.

can't be any sadder than a song by Morrissey!
At least we saw The Cure
