I had a moment today...

...a moment to reflect, and to think about the important things in life.

Julie Schalken was on reception here at work. 21 years old. Last Nov she was complaining of some back pain. Went to physio, then specialist. Cancer. Kidney removed. Got into her liver, bones and lungs. She was dead within two months of diagnosis.

Throughout it all, she was the same, lovable, happy Julie we all knew.

Today was her memorial service. I was there, watching her family and friends. Mourning en mass with my workmates. And, something Naomi said to me came to the fore - "I don't want Genevieve to be alone, if something should happen to us".

So, from that point... I thought about doing something about it. (And working out how I was going to tell Naomi).
