Time Is Running Out

When I got to work today, I was told that a friend/coworker passed away just minutes before my shift started. It was the most surreal feeling in the world. I worked with him the night before. He was very alive. Interacting with people, talking about Thanksgiving plans, joking with other servers. Now today, he's gone. My heart aches for his poor wife. I cannot imagine the nightmare she's going through. I can't imagine how lonely her bed is going to be tonight. This Thanksgiving suddenly means so much more.
