[QUOTE="Star*, post: 108866, member: 4964"] Janet, Short of dressing in drag and doing the hoola on his freshly turned earth? I wouldn't worry about it. He was someone you worked with - you owe him nothing. You don't owe him an apology because he was a mean person and treated you poorly - You don't owe his family your pity - he's dead. He had choices in life to live and work and be nice to people and he was in pain - he chose pills and being mean as opposed to being nice and decent and taking medication. The chain we forge in life - doesn't mean you can't pity him, but I think you did that when you worked with him. And now he's gone. I think it's more a piece of YOUR life that you are feeling sorrow over. That time in your life can't be relieved either - and you did your best to cope with a jerk. Sometimes I think about the jerk I worked with for 7 years, his Type A alcoholic person, and how stingy he was. And I think- The best day in his miserable life was when he met me because I try to live by example - You did too - Not glad he's gone, not sad he's gone - he's just gone. So be it. You are a lovely person with a super heart - something to keep in mind about your own mortality - how others would view your deeds on earth when you go. [/QUOTE]
