Twas the Night Before School...

Susan Weier-McCann (1948-2012)
Actually, the rest of my coworkers started school today.  It was Day 1 of Apple Training.  I was at a funeral for a very dear cousin. Susan was a beautiful soul; she was quiet unless she had something that she needed you to know.  Her life was not always easy and she was no stranger to great loss and sorrow.  However, I think the last several years of her life were quite happy as she traveled extensively.  This is something I did not know until seeing the pictures of her travels at visitation. She was an observer of all around her, and perhaps I would do well to learn a bit of that.  Sometimes I am too quick to speak my mind.  

It is strange to think that school started without me, and I feel a little bit behind already, but I would not have traded the time with family and remembering this beautiful woman for anything in the world.  And let's face it, I would be feeling behind even if I had been at school all summer long!
