Called Home

Sometimes life is very calm, almost boring. Sometimes a lot of things happen at the same time and it's hard to keep track of all the events. Then, I wonder which situation I prefer, but I guess I'm just an "extreme" person: my emotions like to do the roller-coaster (specially when it goes "high").

The sad event. John Lummen, a dear friend and the boss of the music school where I teach, passed away Friday July 14th at the age of 57. He had been battling cancer for the past 6 months. He is the first person who offered me a job here; he didn't even need a teacher at that time but gradually gave me work at the reception, then a couple of students, then the inventory, until I had too much on my plate and had to refuse some!...

The funeral was very emotional (and long) since he touched the life of so many people, with his teaching, his passion for music, his kindness.

The happy part is that he believed in Christ the Saviour, so I know that we'll meet again at the end. However one cannot help feeling very sad for Gwen, his wife, who is left behind by herself. Hard.

Happy are those who rest in the Lord.
