Mortality at a distance

[catsidhe]

I just read an email which says that the principal of Melbourne High School has just died of cancer. The funeral is 11:30 tomorrow (Thursday the 8th) in the Memorial Hall.

Hell, it's not even that I knew him, but the news kinda knocked me back for a second. People do die. People even die in office. I don't know why this has touched me as it has. Maybe I'll figure it out in a quiet moment.

I would attend, but not at <24hours notice.
