Sad News

My mom just told me that my piano teacher passed away. I haven't seen her or spoken with her since early college, but it was still really sad and made me cry. I immediately looked up the article that she had read in the newspaper, and was stunned to find out that this had happened way back in March. It just hit the local paper now (my mom would have seen it if it were there earlier).

I was surprised that I had such a strong reaction to the news considering how long it had been, but then I remembered that I had seen her every week for about 9 years. That's a really long time.

Very sad to hear about this. Kind of makes all my ranting about the fireworks seem slightly less important. Sigh. :(
