Men

My mom lost her third husband this morning. Granted he had a difficult childhood and failing health, but I think he had some great years in his prime. He talked fondly of his sailboat and fishing, and always played nice to the kids. We may not have been the best of friends, but he was in our sphere. A trusted agent, and human. So many things are shaken with his passing. My mom's life. Kids' lives. Our lives.

It's just shocking right now. Death comes again and leaves a void where there was life.
