farewell

Friday, we had a going away luncheon for a woman who is our HR/accountant. The ultimate farewell. After battling cancer for years, she was told a week ago there was nothing more that could be done. She has been given 6 -8 weeks.

So we all brought our favorite casseroles, our favorite desserts. It tasted very much like a meal after a funeral, old-recipe casseroles, comfort food, starch, sour cream, cheese, loads of potatoes and all topped crispy canned fried onion rings.

As awkward and tough as it was, I guess you could view it as a gift to have the chance to be able to say goodbye to friends in such a way.

Or you could say the whole situation sucks.
