No time for the shop today. I spent my day in the kitchen cooking meals. I wish I didn't have to but it's something I wouldn't have said no to.
On Wednesday, a neighbour had a massive heart attack, spent the next 36 hours on life support, and passed on Friday morning. Billy was the partner of a lady who I have known for many years. I was so happy for Laura when she met him. They just had a little boy together less than a month ago.
So today LOML and I figured it would be good to cook for the family. We cooked up a sausage hot pot, a chicken stew, and as a last thought I pulled a pork roast out of the freezer. They were having the stew tonight.
Sitting here tonight, I think things have finally caught up with me. I think of Laura who thought she found happiness, the girls who thought they would have a father figure in the house, and little Ben who will never know his dad. Guy's, when you read this, please raise your glass to Billy and say a little prayer for Laura and the kids.
Thank you and God bless.
Edit: If you can't get the link to work, this was the obit:
ROBICHAUD, William Joseph (Billy) Peacefully, surrounded by his family, after fighting a short but courageous battle, Billy passed away at Hamilton General Hospital, on Friday, May 15, 2009, at the age of 33. Cherished son of Joe and Cathy Robichaud. Brother and best friend of Shari and Mike Yates. Much loved uncle of Brendan and Andrew. Beloved grandson of Florence Laufman. Soulmate of Laura Hartless and proud father of Benjamin and step-father of Jane, Emily and Hannah. Billy will be sadly missed by many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.
