A sadness descends...

Please forgive me if I don't launch into the usual rants you've come to expect.

A very dear friend of mine lost his father this past week. And, in spite of of everything I've done to fight it, I'm feeling a bit of his grief and loss.

Here's a short exerpt from the letter of condolence I wrote to Matt:

"Matt, even though I never met your Dad, I've gotten to know you in the past year, and in my mind that's a testimony to what kind of man he was. You are his legacy to the world, Matt - a warm, kind, generous and caring man. We are all poorer as a result of his passing."

Matt, my heart goes out to you and your family during this time of sadness. You all are in my thoughts and prayers.

Matt, Don't know if you will read this, but I can relate to the pain you are feeling right now. I could say it will get better in time, but there will be a hole that nothing and no one can fill. First you'll cry. Second...Okay, you will cry some more. But one day soon, an unexpected friend will re-visit you...your smile. You'll feel guilty at first, but don't. Next will come laughter. And it will feel just as good as it ever did. Matt, celebrate life and live yours. My prayers are with you and your family.
Love you buddy, Chris
