And then life throws you another curve ball....

Remember my pal/student/tutor/debater and overall great woman?

The one who graduated last spring -- and lost both boyfriend and job in the same week over the summer...

She stayed with us for a while when her life was falling apart -- and a couple of weeks ago she started two jobs and had a boyfriend who really liked her... and whom I liked too :).

She helped me when my life was challenging --- and spent much more time cat sitting when I ended up in Florida for an extra week...

She died...

and, if I didn't know it before, life isn't fair.
