Hug the Kids

I just received an EMail from a lady I have seen maybe twice in the last 20 years. Hannah is someone Albie and I met in Junior High. I had a crush on her and Albie had a crush on her friend Terri.

She EMailed me to see if I would sing at her daughter's memorial service tomorrow. She died suddenly last week at the age of seventeen, the same age as my daughter Zozo. I saw the obit and did not know it was Hannah's little girl. But now I look at it and see a strong resemblace.

This is the third child of a friend who's death I have learned of this week.

Hug your kids, friends, hug them now.
