It was a rapid knock that jolted me right out of a sound sleep and immediately out of bed. I was sure it was Clint trying to rouse me into Friday. When I flung open the door, no one was there. I called downstairs and he answered back "It wasn't me. I didn't hear anything." Under any other circumstances, I would have thought it was just a dream. But this morning, I knew what it meant. It meant sad news. I reluctantly went and checked my e-mail and phone for the update I knew was coming. My friend Laura Wall had passed away.
