Them winds ain't good for sailin'

My little sister was really close to a young, fun English teacher in high school. During my sister's junior year, the teacher started dating and was soon married to a man who had terminal cancer. It was clear he was going to die within a few years, and she knew that going in. My sister called me and told me he passed away this morning--they were probably married for 3 years.

Saddened by the news, I relate it to two of my coworkers. The tragedy that this woman is a widow in her early thirties because of cancer.

Coworker 1: Oh man. That's totally like in "P.S. I Love You." That movie was sad. I totally cried.
Me: Yeah...anyway, it's really sad this happened to her--
Coworker 2: It's also just like in "A Walk To Remember" too. Have you seen that movie?
Me: ...Or it's like REAL LIFE.
