I am another who, sadly, let my friendship with Lauren lapse...never knowing until it was too late that she was gone from us. We attended journalism school together at BU and she lived next door to me as a sophomore. We became fast friends. We were bridesmaids in each other's weddings. We were close. But then life gets in the way, we find the roads take us awa from one another. We lose touch. But she was such a phenomenal woman and writer. I always admired her. And though we were out of touch those years she struggled with Cancer... she was often in my thoughts. I so wish I had picked up the phone or sent her a casual email. Her loss is a great loss to me. I always figured we'd reconnect at some point and talk about the our times together "back in the day." I am heartbroken that this will never happen. So I take the lesson learned in hand and make sure I reconnect with those who mean much to me yet no longer play a starring roll in my life. I will never forget Lauren and the ways she touched my life. I fell truly blessed to have known her and called her friend... She was one of those rare special people that always will remain in my heart. What you wrote here surely resonnates with me.

What you said-- don;t be burdened-- is what I took from this article by my friend Lauren with whom i had lost touch. And as for Comcast, they may know what's good for you. They have decreed that you do not need to spend your time watching C-SPAN 2. Matt,

At best my mom's passing inspires me to a kind of compassionate charity.. Or maybe it's just that at times like this you're perspective on what is really important seems more clear then at any other point.. What is important is love. May our love find its expression. Somewhere in the Bible, on the subject of sacrifice, we are told that God loves a joyful giver. The message seems to be that what is important is not some sense of what is expected of us, of some sense of duty or social obligation... After all, sooner or latter we all pass from the life.. Life is not something to be clung to.. We are, after all, to live a little dangerously.. And what do these worldly values mean in the big picture, when want contemplates the temporality of all the things we normally take so seriously.. I guess what I'm trying to say is.. all that really matters is what's in your heart, and don't let your self be burdened by lesser things. We are all weak and feeble.. this is our condition. Best to have compassion for all.. lol, accept for the evil bastards at Comcast who refuse to give me my C-Span 2, but that's another story...

That's what I call a small world. Between discussion of Lauren and Chris Brogan's <a href="http://grasshopperfactory.com/cbc/connecting-people/" rel="nofollow">"Connections" post</a>, I have been connecting a lot of dots between people I know from different parts of my life.

She is one of three people in my life right now to be affected by cancer at a very young age. It's causing me to pause a bit.
