My sister passed away last night

:(

I got the call at about 5 this morning at work. She was diagnosed with lung and liver cancer a month ago and is now gone. Boom. The good thing is that she went quietly in her sleep - I'm grateful for that but sad that I didn't get to see her again. I was planning a trip out to do so - she went so fast.

Today was also my last day with the best boss I've ever had - our manager has transferred to another store. I'm philosophical about comings and goings at work but this man was special and I'll miss him dreadfully. He's my friend as well as my boss and though I hope to see him still now and then, it's not the same as having that every day interaction.

Rough day. We need a smiley that has a dark cloud hanging over it.
