not technically a provider of a service but i remember having an instructor for a class i was really excited for, who NEVER graded my work, i think at one point he was 8 weeks behind on grading in a 16 week course. around week 14 i was annoyed bc the final was coming up and he hadn’t even graded my midterm yet… and then i got the email he had died. definitely changed my perspective on what I view as important vs what ACTUALLY matters at the end of your life
yeah, it really threw me. weird thing, i barely knew him for 3 months, the class wasn’t even an in-person class so I only interacted with him digitally… and yet I think about him all the time
