We have had such a sad, sad week. Last Wednesday our friend Jeff committed suicide. He is Marc Smith's brother. It still doesn't seem real. He was early 50's with a wife and 2 kids (16 and 19). It was mostly over finances which hopefully will be a great learning experience for so many of us that are so poor right now. Makes me realize as long as our family is together and healthy the rest of the stuff just doesn't matter. If anything good can come out of this tragedy it would be to save someone else from doing anything drastic because of money and pride. Makes me think maybe we are all focusing on the wrong things (material things). The part I loved at Jeff's funeral was when they invited friends and family to stand up and tell memories of him. Many people told funny, happy stories, what a great way to remember him.
Needless to say I am grateful today for my husband whom I love and who drives me crazy at times, for Anna and the way she makes me laugh by making faces or telling me jokes and Olivia who keeps life interesting.

That is so sad! I am feeling for their two kids.
Found your blog via Alli's - I'm her fav uncle :) Couldn't leave without a comment. Sorry for your loss. I know exactly what you feel. I've known several guys who chose this way out of a bad situation they didn't feel time would fix.
