Not sure where to start.
Or how to start...
I just got back from laying to rest a great guy. We were best friends from grade school through high school and even for our freshman year of college but then sort of drifted apart. He moved to a different college which made getting together more difficult. That being said, whenever we ran into one another it was just like we had never been apart so we would just pick up where we left off.
Oh my did we ever rip it up back in the day but I sort of grew up and he did too in some respects, not so much in others. Because of this, it has been way too many years since we have spent time together and as the saying goes, it is now too late as he was killed in a car accident late last week.
On top of this, just a few weeks ago I was at the funeral of my next door neighbor who decided to take his own life. We were college roommates way back when and were always going back and worth borrowing things from one another. He leaves behind a wife and three kids 20-something year old kids.
Health issues with family, big changes at work, and all the yuck going on right now...
I started this post late yesterday afternoon but never finished it. Now this morning we got word that a kind soul from my wife's hometown area was killed in a farming accident yesterday. I had only met the gentleman once but he and his family went out of their way to welcome us into their community during a Memorial Day luncheon several years ago.
Sorry for the depressing post and am not looking for sympathy but I sure am ready for some good news for once...and the weekend to unwind.
