William Scott
A co-workers 9 month old son, William Scott, died yesterday. He had Spinal Muscular Atrophy <http://www.fsma.org/booklet.shtml>.
When she was pregnant with Will, she and I often compared pregnancy notes, as Laura was only a few months behind. He was diagnosed around the same time as Johannes death, so we've both been away from work for some time, and when we both were at work, we've been occupied in our own issues, so haven't really had a chance to talk.
Folks have been really weird about talking about Will death, around me, at work. I suspect that they are afraid that it will open my own wounds. Anyhow, there's an office collection going around, and everyone is signing a card.
I think it'll be better if I send my own card.
