RIP

The world lost a beautiful child on Saturday. Just 28 years old: He was doing what he always does on weekends. Climbing to the tops of mountains in Swiss Alps.

Got the call Sunday afternoon. We've gone through cases and cases of kleenex.

His mom and dad, text book perfect.  His up brining magnificent, he excelled at school, graudaured with honors, recently promoted working and playing in Zurich.
He had more friends than there are mosquitoes at Brighton Speedway on a July humid night.

A slip and fall 150m drop he's gone.

His parents are crushed, devastated squared. His brother a walking zombie. The entire family will never recover from this.. It's Imposable.

This is truly one of the sadest weeks of our families life...

Good bye perfect Nephew.

  6. Thanks for all the kind words blog dogs.
    You know me, hard ass here. But when you see the anguish in his parents.. It's hell.

    They jumped on a plane today, he won't be back home till Wed. Unreal.

    And as if this isn't bad enough, old God has his sights on my mom. now in palative care.

    How do respond after a four day sleep over at the nursing home. Waiting.

    I just checked into Seneca.

    Something seriously wrong with me.

  9. Oh Smokey, I'm so sorry about your nephew. It sounds like he lived it up while he could. We should all enjoy life so much.

    Hope your mother hangs on for as long as she has a decent quality of life. Thinking of your family during this difficult time.

    I know you don;t give a rat's ass about this thing, but your nephew is in a better place now. Deep down he wanted it... you know better it works like this.
