In the not so distant past, I found myself heading to Birmingham for a meeting. I ended up staying in jolly old England for the weekend and headed up to the Lake District to relax, do some hiking, and thinking.. about life.
Whenever I go to England, there are a few people that I always think about. One of which, I have not seen in ages, and whom I met and spent much time with not far from Birmingham. Her name is Caroline Bayley. Due to bounced e-mails from months before, and her being a bit of a vagabond, I had no way to get in touch with her to try to organize a visit. I decided to contact her family, and in so doing was thrown aback by the response. Caroline had died. She was a year older than I, and never made her 30th birthday.
This heart-wrenching news, and the fact that things at work has not been going well is why it was a relaxing / thinking weekend.
It was a bit of a wet weekend, but it didn’t matter. A perfect mix of rain and sun. Let’s just leave it at that…
In loving memory of Caroline.
