Yesterday was May 1st, also known as May Day. A simple google search will erupt a collection of tales and myths that have guided May Day in becoming a holiday to some and a religious day to others. And still to others, it is the day of semblance to the 8 hour work day.
From here on in, May Day will now also be known as the day my sister's best friend died. Cara was scuba diving off the Barnegat Light coast and something went terribly wrong. Probably equipment failure of some sort. The Coast Guard is investigating. She is as Southern Ocean County Hospital, where an autopsy will take place. She did not have family in NJ and my sister was the one that got the call that something happened. She called Cara's family. No one ever wants to make that call.
My sister cries when the kids aren't looking. She distracts herself when they are.
Her heart hurts. Mine hurts for her.
