It just crushes me… this past weekend a family friend of ours lost their son in a tragic unexpected accident.
My parents have been friends with his parents for …pretty much ever. A really long time… I didn’t know him that well, just knew of him and knew the sweet girl he was dating. I knew his sister as we used to work together and still work at the same company… we email and chat occasionally… and my heart just breaks for them.
He and his girlfriend who graduated a year after me were so in love, so happy together… they were just getting ready to move in together.
He lost his life on Friday afternoon shortly after 4pm. He was under a trailer house as it was getting ready to be moved and blocks gave out and the trailer came down crushing him.
The wake is tonight, funeral tomorrow… and I am dreading it more than anything.
He was only 29. Almost 30… and so much life ahead of him.
You never know when it’s your time to go… tell the ones you love how much they mean to you, and cherish every day as if it’s your last.
Hugs to you all, especially you Tara if you’re reading this. My heart just hurts for you… so bad. I wish I could take all the pain away.

*sigh* I don’t know what to say. I’m sorry.
Unfortunately Kim, you know what it’s like to lose someone unexpectidly… it’s not fair.
sending up a prayer for that poor family. It’s always so painful when a life is taken too soon.
Death almost always comes when we least expect it. It seems so unfair to us. I’ll be sending prayers to his family.
That is so very sad. What a tragedy.
