I found out that a past co-worker of mine passed away in her sleep. She was younger than me. She left behind an 8 and a 3 year old, her hubby and her ailing mother. It was such a shock to learn. It was hard to believe that it was true. Our kids used to have playdates when they were younger. Losing someone so young, it isn't just the loss of their presence, it completely alters forever her family's way of life...not only do they have to deal with her death, but they have to find solutions to the hole that her absence brings. I simply can't fathom it all yet. A take-away, I guess, is a reminder that life is a gift and never guaranteed.
On the home front, we decided to drop the price of our home and had an open house this weekend. Our realtor repeatedly told us how people who stopped in were impressed with how well kept our home is. That was nice to hear that our hard work paid off. God willing we'll get some good offers now. Our realtor is hoping we'll be under contract within 2-3 weeks in order to meet the timeline for when our new home is scheduled to be ready. Timing is the challenge.
