Saddens me to hear about this man, prayers sent. Somehow I haven't had to deal with the loss of anyone very close to me yet, but a best friend is irreplaceable.
On the Friday morning of this year's GA/FL weekend I was in St Simon's with one of my best friends when he learned that both of his parents had been killed by a drunk driver the previous night. I didn't know him until college so I had only met his parents a few times, but they were a great family. Needless to say my friends and I were devastated and I can't begin to imagine what he was going through. I have never seen such an outpouring of love and support from a community as I did at the funeral service. He and his siblings are doing as well as could expected given the circumstances.

I am not going to get religious on you..... I'll just say they aren't gone. It won't give you comfort now, but hopefully it will later.

I don't know what that is a picture of but I have zero doubt that I'll see them again one day.
How's the wife doing? Baby should be coming soon, huh?

March 30 due date
The picture is intertwined mead horns.
What a ghetto person would do by pouring out some 40 on the ground is what nordic folk do by drinking mead from a horn.
That's the best way to explain it to you at this point.

Thanks bud, his dad was the one in the club by you where we hog hunted at.
He also just picked up 500 acres "across the creek" not sure exactly where but I plan on turkey hunting it this year.

I'm sure you're as excited as me. Our little creature is all sorts of hyper rolling around in the belly. It's awesome man.

Sorry to hear about this, Spunk. May God grant you and his family peace as only He can.
Lost both of my grandparents (only ones I ever knew) in 2012, then my mother died unexpectedly in 2013 (my father passed in 2002, a few months before my wedding). I'm familiar with loss at this point. You'll always have moments where you think back on the things said and unsaid, and it will hurt. But it will be easier to cope with as time passes.
Prayers for you and for the new addition you'll be welcoming soon. It'll be the greatest joy (and some of the hardest work) you'll ever know.

I'm not going to be hanging out with you much in heaven if you're constantly playing that hippie jam band stuff.

Thanks buddy, I'm getting more and more nervous as the days pass about trying to be the best father I can. I know alot comes instinctively, but that doesn't make it easier for me, now, sitting here without a clue in the world on how to raise a child. It's an adventure that I'm ready for tho. We're already playing together. She just happens to be in my wife's belly. We wale her up sometimes when she starts kicking to hard, but that's about the best way to be woken up if you ask me.

Sorry, man. Lost my best friend a few years back. Have to fight tears when I see his son, who looks just like his dad. It'll get better but it'll take some time. Chin up.
