Daughter L had a 4-day getaway to Chicago with some friends recently. Son K asked her to bring him a souvenir of the Bean. It has quickly become a landmark in Chicago since the sculpture was installed in 2004. K was delighted that they found him this cute keychain.
The unfortunate thing was that one of L's girlfriends had to abort her trip and fly home the day after they arrived. It seems the girl's boyfriend's father went into cardiac arrest the day the girls arrived in Chicago and died 2 days later. He was only 55. The man had seemed healthy and was in fact lifting new furniture into the house. This is so scary and shocking.
At the funeral people were told it would be a celebration of life, were asked to wear colourful clothing as opposed to the colour black. Daughter L was glad she attended in support of her friends.

Sorry to hear that the girl's father died so suddenly. Things like that are really shocking. I wish you a good, new week. Hugs, Valerie
I'm sorry to hear that one of your daughter's friends suffered a loss. I've heard about someone else who went like that. It was good of her to go home and be there, but it is a shame she missed out on a fun trip with her friends. Hopefully they can all do something together again soon.
What a sad story! Glad to hear that L was able to support her friend.
How sad about the boyfriend's father. A very difficult time for his loved ones.
That's very sad
Cute key chain. Sorry to hear about that premature death.
I'm 100 percent all about the colourful clothing and not this dark black bull stuff. Very sorry he passed and so young. Health, really is everything. Scary.
So sorry for your daughter's friend. My heart goes out to her and her family. But, I love the thought that they wore colorful clothing instead of black.
The Bean is a terrific piece of art! It reflects things so crazy that you love looking not at it...but into it :)
What a wonderful souvenir. I'm sorry about the death, I'm glad your daughter was able to be there for her friend.
I never realised it was called 'The Bean' of course it makes perfect sense.
Love the idea of the key chain gift.
So very sorry to read about the early death, but pleased your daughter could be there for her friend...
Good wishes for the week ahead
All the best Jan
So sorry for the loss. No one escapes it, but no one is every ready...55 is so young. I lost my dad when he was 57. That was so many years ago. But I still think of him. He's been gone a lot longer than he was alive. Sending prayers and blessings as you celebrate his life.
