Make love not war

R. has a collegue with whom he (and the rest of the team) celebrated the life going of one of the sites, 2 weeks ago. That friday she didn't feel too great and during the weekend even went to visit a doctor. He send her to the hospital right away, they did a scan and next Monday, when everyone was happily back at work, she learned she had a mortal tumor and about 3 months to live.
The whole department is devastated.

This weekend R. got several phone calls coz 2 of the sites were down.
Not much he could do about it, but still he called the projectmanager of the club where they host the site and told him, we would keep our fingers crossed there would be no major world news that had to go life Sunday :), but by Monday he sure would have to have his act back together again.
While telling him this, he heard a small child at the other side of the phone. Now R. was bringing C. to bed as well and when he asked the other guy how old his daughter was, he learned that she was 2.
Wasn't his daughter though, but his youngest daugthers daughter.
This guy was about 50.
Had always thought that when the kids were sort of grown up, he and his wife would go travelling.
2 yrs ago his -then 16 yr old- daughter gets pregnant.
Father is nowhere to be seen, girl wants to go to college, so the grandparents are raising her like their own.

Ofcourse.
Totally different examples.

Life is what happens while you're making plans.
