A Friend's Death

We make and break plans to meet with friends and family all of the time, citing work obligations, and other commitments; and then the unexpected happens...

"A Macedonian volunteer attached to the United Nations Volunteers (UNV) team died early morning yesterday (Nov. 4) when the motorcycle he was riding had collided with an Army vehicle in the Cinnamon Gardens police area, police said.

Police said that Mr. Roman Mirceski (36) died on the spot after being involved in a head-on collusion with the military vehicle. Police have taken into custody the driver of the military vehicle and he was to be produced before the magistrate yesterday. The United Nations Development Programme said that the victim had been supporting the VOICE Project as an ICT4D Specialist".

I only knew Roman for a few months, and with both our busy lives, we never met up as often as we should have. Thanks Roman, for reminding us to prioritize friends, to enjoy the most casual get togethers, and to not take our mortality for granted.
