I Thought I Had A Little More Time

Received a really sad message on my phone this morning that informed me of the passing of my former colleague from my hotel internship. Eugenie was working there as one of the two main telephone operators and she was one cool lady who partied with us, and was not shy about anything.

After I completed my internship, she seems to have been dealt a really bad hand when it came to her health. There was also a time where she had two heart attacks and was on the brink of death but managed to fight back.

Recently, she fought cervical cancer and was doing quite good. That is, until recently when it seems that her organs were failing her. Just two days ago, I just asked how she was doing and I received a call from her brother informing me that she was not doing so good, and had been in the hospital for the last three weeks. She had had a stroke and with her failing organs, it sounded quite grave.

I was actually planning to visit her this afternoon and instead was told about her death. I just hope that she can finally rest in peace now.

Goodbye Genie.
