What was the last thing you said?

Recently, a colleague of mine suffered a horrible tragedy that's been plastered all over the news. She's one of the kindest women I know. When things like this happen, or when we lose someone, you start to think, "What was the last thing I said to her?" After a moment, I remembered. It was a few weeks ago, before any of this happened. I passed her near the stairs, said hello, and took a moment just to say, "For some, reason, it always brightens my day when I see you." And it's true. It totally does. And it's comforting to know that before this happened, for a small moment, she knew she was loved and appreciated. I made her day. And it didn't take a tragedy to bring that out.
