On Tuesday we had a work party celebrating our 1 yr of being independent from the hospital. It started at 5, and I remembered it at like 5:20. I just decided to skip it at that point. I totally regret it now, and feel sick to my stomach that I did. Yesterday (Wednesday) I got a call from a co-worker. He told me that our boss died that day.

She left in the morning to go to Alaska for vacation. She was canoeing with her sister and her brother in law. Their friend, who was from Alaska, was in a kayak with them. They hit a log jam and tried to paddle out of it. The current picked up and tipped their canoe. The BIL made it on top of the log jam, but my boss and her sister got sucked under and drowned. The friend made it out too.

I am so sick to my stomach about this. I am sick that I didn't go to the party and sick that this happened. She was only 48.

Sorry for the ramble and sad post, but I didn't know who to turn to.
