"Life is too short to wake up with regrets. So love the people who treat you right. Forget about the one's who don't. Believe everything happens for a reason. If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it... "   --Unknown

I received the above from a text message and found it profound.  Friends and those we care about are irreplaceable and precious treasures.

This reminded me of how it is in the workplace, which according to managers and coworkers, that one can always be replaced.  A position can be filled with another, however, the one that filled the position cannot be replaced.  

Recently, a friend (A) who I worked with found another job within the company and relocated to New York.  It was a fantastic opportunity for her and her family and I am happy for them.   

A has a way of making anyone feel at home (in our home away from home) and appreciated. Her sense of humor is a lot like mine (that is a compliment!) and she always supported me in my outside-of-work interests.  She is one of the few people at work who I know I can trust and know our conversations went no further.  There's definitely only one A... and she is missed.

You raaawk, A!
