Yesterday was one of those days you finish with some leftover Chinese food and a couple of glasses of wine and pass out by 9. We lost an employee at work and my job as a friend and professional was being there for them. I cannot imagine some of the pain that these men endured and will have to function with in the coming days. You come in every day for the past 11 years and there is this beacon of a man who smiles everyday, is always early and in form to assist the others and do his work not just to the best of his ability nor to be the simple perfectionist, rather his purpose was to make sure he did not let his team; his family down. He never complained and took any conflicts within the department in his own caring hands and as he did with everything else, he looked at it, diagnosed it and healed it in his own way. Although I may have felt somewhat helpless along with some of my peers, I know that caring is not something you can put into a powerpoint or measure in a cup or with a ruler but when others know you are there and are feeling for them and with them, it is the best we can do.
