I had a lot of fun doing a summer fencing camp in July.
We had a final tournament after 8 weeks, I tied for second place.
I took fencing in university, and really enjoyed it. Surprisingly, my knees are not that bad to continue to do fencing. Instead, it's my lower back and ankles where I sometimes pull a muscle.
It's fun to do activities that I really enjoyed from before and pick them up again. I think I have a little skill at fencing, and maybe I will take more classes in the future.
A friend of ours tragically passed away two weeks ago.
It was sudden. There was no cause that anyone knows yet. As said today during the funeral, it feels like a bad cosmic joke. A successful, soft-spoken guy that accepted so many different people into his life.
One thing that I think about is that there should have been more time, and the truth is, there's never enough time.
So many things in life don't make sense, and this is one that also doesn't make sense to me. I still think that it's not real, that it didn't happen, because he was so full of life and drive, and then suddenly not there.
My heart is just aching for everyone who has to pick up the pieces and move on.
I don't have many words to say, but only a deep sadness for a person gone, but not forgotten.
