♥ kay poustie
earlier today i discussed the topic of death with josh.
we talked about what it would be like losing someone we loved. how we would handle it.
we talked about how we don't fear death, but we do fear a painful death.
later, i checked my email and recieved the news of the passing away of kay poustie.
a zontian. a lady i had engaged in quite a bit of contact with, through my YWPAA journey.
she was a wonderful judge... she even called me to tell me i was one of the three international district 23 finalist, even though she was in queensland at the time...
and again she called me, after i found out i had won... telling me she had knew all along but couldn't tell me.
i knew she had been unwell, she was unable to make it to the night that i went back to the club to talk.
that time i went for coffee with alison, she was meant to join us, but her husband called saying that she was still asleep, and he didn't want to make her. dawn joined us instead.
sure, she wasn't a big part of my life. sure, i didn't know her favourite colour, the kinds of clothes she liked to wear...
but you know.. as little of a role she played in my life... it was still a part of my life.
and i feel really fortunate to have met such an amazing woman in my life...
and it makes me appreciate the people in my life. not just the one's who play a big role... but every single person, however small their role is.
