It's been just over a week since I've last blogged, and I can hardly believe how much has happened. This week I lost a friend. I don't even know where to begin with how shocking and sad it has been. Rachel was killed in an accident last Monday afternoon, and although we had grown apart a little over this last year, I will still very much miss her. I've been reflecting over the week on some memories I've shared with Rach, and they have left me laughing,
smiling, and yes, crying. It was amazing to see how many people
came to support the VanHartingsvelt family, and just how many people's lives had been touched by Rach. It was fantastic to hear how happy Rach had been over the last year, and how much she had been growing, maturing, and learning. I know that this isn't a final goodbye, but only goodbye for now, and I can find some peace in that, even if it doesn't take away all of the pain and sadness.
Work is long and tiring, for the most part it's been 12 hour days. But I need the money, so there's only so much complaining I can do. It's pretty easy, and all in all a good job. I'm finding myself getting nervous about Korea more. There are some big changes coming up, and I'm not sure that I'm completely ready for them. I've realized what a great group of friends I have, and just how much I'll miss them when I go away.
I'm pretty excited for a few things happening this summer. Of course the annual cottage weekend, Grey's nights at Al's, Toronto weekend and Jay's game, Family hang-outs, and of course...Vancouver. Calla turned 1 on Thursday, and I can't wait to see all her changes..I hear there are quite a few! :)
It's been a whirlwind of week, one full of laughter, and a lot of tears...what a way to start the summer.
