Connections
A relationship in which a person or thing, or an idea, is linked or associated with something else.
Let me first start by saying M was a very private person, which is something I both loved and disliked about him because he would never truly open up unless he trusted you enough to do so.
The day he passed, I called his current boss, whom he affectionately referred to as his "boss, "his little sister.
Let's call her ML.
She was as in much disbelief as I was and just as hurt, even though M had only been working with her a few months before he passed.
He knew what he was doing by letting the two of us connect through our loss.
M talked about ML more than his real siblings and how she got on him, but he would move heaven or earth for her.
Our connection is so real, even though she and I have yet to meet, but I know that, like M, I would move heaven or hell to make sure my Little sister was alright.
Connections through loss sometimes can be a person very lifeline because through that loss, two people can bond and recover through the loss together.
M knew what he was doing when he put me and ML together because he knew that we would protect and love each other through any storm.
The connection between us is so strong that we talk on the phone sometimes like we've known each other for years.
Our connection is locked in for life, and I'm so very grateful for my sister and for M in putting us together.
