Loss

I was planning on posting last night - that is, until I called my friend Patrick down in Jersey. He told me a mutual friend lost his 22 year old son over the weekend. No idea what happened, except there was no mention of foul play.

Few things depress me as much as seeing a young life ended. Watching my father deal with Alzheimer's is difficult, but I understand that it goes with the territory of reaching old age. As a parent, the idea of losing a child horrifies me.

I wish there was something wise I could say, but all I can do is hold them in my thoughts and prayers. I hope you'll do so too.
