My former boss B.G.'s wife died yesterday. She had pancreatic cancer. She was sick for about a year, which I guess is a long time to live with that kind of cancer. It's really aggressive and people usually die pretty quickly.
I never met her, but I feel like I knew her with how much B.G. would talk about her. They seemed to have one of those great marriages that somehow stayed strong and happy through kids and illness and job losses and all of the other things that tend to destroy a lot of relationships. B.G. is one of my favorite people and by far the best boss I've ever had. And this whole thing has made me wonder why such a terrible thing would happen to such a nice person. Especially since I know some horrible people who never have anything bad happen to them.
