It's 9 am, I cannot get my ass into gear and start working just yet...
Yesterday on my way home from work I was listening to the Don and Mike radio show on WJFK, here in the Washington DC Metro area. Anyone who has been in this area for the past 20 years knows who Don (real name, Mike Sorce) and Mike (O'Meara) are.
3 weeks ago Don's wife was tragically killed in an auto accident in Ocean City Md. Yesterday was his first day back. He was only on air for a few hours to explain what happened and take condolence calls from listeners. He would break down occasionally and would get quiet while he regained his composure. It was sad, and it made me cry. Any listener could tell you that Don and his wife, Freda, loved each other unconditionally. I was reading an article in the Washington post today about Don and the loss of his wife. It said basically the same thing I just told you know. But there was a portion I didn't hear:
"Geronimo also described going through his wife's papers after her death. After cracking the family's safe (Freda Wright-Sorce managed all of the family's affairs), he said he found a letter addressed to him in his wife's handwriting. "Dear Mike," he read, "I dreamed last night I died. . . . I wasn't afraid and I felt no pain. . . . Don't be sad for me. My only sadness is my family will be sad for me. Just know that all is right and is as it should be. I am happy." It expressed the hope that she and all her loved ones would be together again one day and was signed simply, "Freda, 10/16/04."
ughhh I'm getting misty reading that.... How much of a coincidence is that? How eery.
