Being Erica

This has been one of my most favorite episodes of Being Erica. This show has been a gem and I feel very lucky to have found it. I never used to worry much about death. It seemed so far away. But now that my life is where it is today, I do worry about it because I have so much to leave behind. As I watched this episode it reminded me of a two very specific days in my life...one was the day I found out one of my most favorite and beloved aunts told me she had breast cancer. I cried and cried and just like Erica's mom she told me everything would be ok. The other day is this episode reminded me of (and I was surprised I thought of this day) was the day Kat called to tell me Tim had passed away. That day my heart fell to my feet. All I could think of was all of the things he had left to do in his life and all of the things he would miss because he wasn't here anymore. The world didn't make much sense after that because I couldn't wrap my mind around how someone so sweet and nice could loose his life and his kids and his family. Ultimately one day we loose everything...
