How do you deal with suddenly losing someone who is not a relative or a friend, but someone you liked? Shortly before I heard that the manager at a resturant my husband and I go to every week was killed last night in a car accident on his way home from work. Shock does not quite describe my reaction. It was more like someone punched me in the stomach and turned the world upside down.
I think he was the favorite manager there. I would see him helping serve when it was busy. He always stopped to talk to us, He was probably in his mid to later 30s, married with 2 daughters. I can't imagine what his family is feeling now. I hope that when the end came he did not have time to realize what was happening. He didn't deserve to have his last moments of life invaded by fear and terror. I remember last week he was telling us how he had had a wonderful weekend with his daughters.
I am pleased that I had the chance to have him touch my life and pass on positive energy. Even though his life ended early and in such a tragic event, I know he brought a lot of life into the world in the time he spent here. He touched alot of people even if only for a moment.
I believe that we all touch the people we meet and those people touch us.
Dave, I am honored to have known you. Your smile and gentle manner will be with me always. I know you are with your ancestors and those who have loved you and passed before you. When you look down at us, know that we miss you.
