It was worse than we thought

Steve, Nick, Uncle Dave & Scott
Today we were at the Holiday Inn celebrating Maddie's birthday when I got the call from my aunt Vicki.  Nick passed away today.  38 years old.  Another life taken too soon.  I learned today that the family knew this was coming.  They knew that he didn't have long to live.  They knew that the damage was beyond repair.

When things like this happen it's like a punch to the gut.  It forces you to stop and think about your own life, your own habits and how your decisions affect you and those around you.
It's real life with real consequences.  No do overs.  No fresh start tomorrow.
This one hurts a lot.  He is too young. 
It also reminds me of just how unfortunate it is that we aren't closer with our extended family.
RIP Nick
