I eluded to it in another post this morning.

I am not looking for sympathy, just wanted to explain why I have not been as present over the last few days.

I got a call Friday afternoon from the wife of my best friend, that he was involved in a bad car accident. I spent most of the night Friday and Saturday on the road, and he died Sunday morning early.

I pretty much have nobody at this point, which I never thought at 37 I would be saying. In the last 2 years, I went through a divorce, my mother and father both passed away, and now my best friend - probably the only friend I have had that has really been my confidante over the last 18 years - since we were college freshmen.

Usually this happens when you are in your 70s or 80s. Anyway, I am handling the arrangements for him so that his wife can tend to their 7 year old and 4 year old who don't fully understand.

anyway, that is where I have been.

Don't know you, but you seem like a hell of a nice guy.

Feel bad for those little kids too, maybe you guys can help each other out.
