I just think >>this is too hysterical for words. :D

I post news all the time. Sometimes even my feed supplier gets the dates of articles mixed up and will give me an article which is years old even though it is related to what is happening now. I have to watch out for this.

But at many news websites, they supply links off to the side of related articles. Today I saw one and mistook it for a current article but was too busy to look at it right then. It concerned the death of a prominent singer.

Later I went googling for this singer's death and found out that he had sung one of my favourite songs, which I hadn't paid attention to as to who sang it, and that he had died 3 years ago--so the link I had seen was an old one.

I sat there assimilating those two bits of information and then read more about his death--he had suffered a debilitating stroke 2 years before his passing and had never really come back from it.

After all that, it just hit me with a whole lot of sadness and I sat there and cried for quite a long time. I'm not sure why. I guess the people I like, I want to think they are alive and well and happy. I would give them my life if it could make it possible for them to be so.

I hope wherever he is -- and his mum died this year...I hope he is happy and feeling good. He is missed.
