Sorry about your loss Mike. Sounds like you have grabbed it by the horn. I know exactly how ya feel.

Sorry for your loss Mike.

I'm glad to see your banishment is over.

Sent with prayers for you Mike and your extended family.

Thanks again Fellas. It wasn't just my loss, and yea, I never know what to say at a time like this. People offer to help any way they can but my mind drew a blank every time someone offered. I think people would take the pain on themselves for you if they could. But this is something a person has to deal with themselves. I made my trip to the dark side, feeling like I failed to protect my son from this. But that didn't last long. Accidents happen, and we all end up in the same shape at one time or another. Instead of people meeting me on the street and telling me how sorry they are waiting for me to snap, I like it more when they come up and tell me a funny story about him. He loved to make people laugh, even if it was at his own expense. He always had a positive vibe going on. When he was younger, trying to figure out what kind of man he wanted to be I told him to start with his funeral, and think about how he wanted people to talk about him. Then work backwards and become that man. It looks like he took it to heart.

Sorry for your loss.
