Sad Day Yesterday

Yesterday was a double whammy.
  1. 23 years ago, my mother went to be with the Lord. She wasn't well for a long time but with all the challenges, she didn't pull through. I still miss her to this day. Even with her problems, I enjoyed our conversations, joking and so on. She is in a better place.
  2. I just learned yesterday, a close friend of mine from Florida suddenly passed away from a heart attack. He and myself use to bike ride up and down the lower Florida Keys every weekend. Even in his 60's he was in great shape and hard to keep up with. I was at my healthiest point when I rode with him. I am going to get back into biking in his honor this weekend. Not only he was a great friend but a great co-worker. He had passion towards his job and people. He is survived by his wife and kids. He is in a much better place now. Maybe riding his bike in heaven.
