all I hold dear

ok. once again I am pledging to try to divulge my deepest darkest secrets. I fail at it quite a bit. but all I can do is try.

Human Resources is my profession and let me tell you, there is nothing more entertaining or frustrating than humans! Recently though, I have had 2 of my employees lose their beloved spouses. and I am not talking about the kind that have been married forever and can no longer stand each other. I am talking about the kind that have been married forever and still love each other madly. It's been so heartbreaking. Having never gone through this myself in any capacity- I've only ever lost my grandparents and I was not super close to them and I was young enough that it was sad, but I don't recall grieving. I mean, I think these were the 2nd and 3rd funerals I've ever been to!I held the death certificates in my hands! And my heart is broken. You know I often joke that many of the HR folks I have run into don't really care for humans much, but I do. and this reminds me that while I love working, and I must pay the bills, my time with G is so much more precious than I give it credit for. I vow to slow down and be more in the present with her when she gets back from her dad's.
