On Loss

On Saturday a colleague of mine died very suddenly and unexpectedly. he wasn't ill or anything - his heart just stopped beating. I'm still trying to come to terms with never seeing him again (he sat next to me in the teachers' lounge). I'm very, very, very sad and not in the mood to think of Valentine's Day. I'm knitting a lot at the moment because it helps me to think somehow. Pictures will follow when I feel up to it.
