They laid off fired one of my coworkers today. He has one of the most unique personalities, with all of its quirks and eccentricities, that make him one of the most compassionate and comprehending human beings I've ever met.
He is married happily to a beautiful woman, a few years his younger, and their child is about to celebrate his second birthday. Her pregnancy made her lose a position in Hollywood that she held for many years. Despite what they say about there being laws against that, it still happens.
Now, he's gone. No tears shed, but certainly some political resentment towards others who work here. He's always looking on the brighter side of life. He's always an example to me that no matter how down you get, or distracted from priorities, or put down by other people; there is always a manner in which we can overcome and grow.
I'd say here's to growth, but I'm really going to miss him.
