This post is a draft from mid Februray 

Sometimes life doesn't explain why things happen. This morning was pretty frustrating. We just fixed a bug and I thought everything was going just dandy. Then, I got a email from a user asking why their text message looks so odd. Ding ding ding!  

I had a nice lunch to talk biz with a fellower MSUer and startup fanatic John. Then, I went to Starbucks to grab coffee and try to do some work. My usual 3 seats were taken, I almost left. But the seat by the door was open so I figured, what the hell. I sat down and started working on an email. Then, a women walked in, and politely asked if she could share the outlet I was using. Of course, I said. 

Theres some people that, when you meet them you just click. You vibe really well. I don't know why, but I could tell there was something really cool about this women. So we started chatting about this & that, the local restaurant down the street, her sons schooling experieince, what I'm doing with remind101 etc...etc... 

One thing led to another and we started talking about her life experiences. She had just finished her final round of chemo from breast cancer. The funny thing is, she had so much exciting, warm energy you would have never guessed it. After some conversation (I felt like we've been friends for years at this point btw) I asked her if she was scared. "No, not so much actually" What scares me is that I have a 12 year old and the Dr.s say I have 3-5 years to live. So, they aren't joking when they say "live every moment like it's your last". 

At this point she started tearing up a bit and it was tough for me not to as well. See, it's easy to watch the movies, see the videos and hear stories and I cant even say it was someone I'm close to cause we just met 30 min ago! 

And to think I was frustrated with a bug fix earlier in the day.
