The funeral was today.

Today was a time of meeting up with friends and reconnecting with those I have not seen in years. Today was a day of hugging a family I used to be close to. Today was a day of revelations - finding out that nobody knew Trina was down, had depression or had any way to prepare for such a death.

On Sunday 15th April a friend of mine took her own life. For two years from the age of 12 to 14 she was my only friend. She was funny, witty, had a great heart and became a strong member of our close friendship group. She was also an amazing geek, loving beyond anything the glory that is Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

For the job, I'm not sure what I am going to do. I'm working out exactly what I want from it. The main thing is that I know now those friends I saw today and fell out of contact with before, I am now going to keep. Because friends are so important.
