D

I cut my walk with Cain in half this morning because I wanted to come home and write all about my great weekend and my great Monday morning weigh in. So, I jumped on the computer, logged on and noticed that I had an email from a friend and the subject line was the name of a husband of a friend who lives down the street.

It took my breath away.

He passed away sometime overnight. Went to sleep and just never woke up. He’s my age… a bit younger even… a devoted husband and a father to two young boys – one just barely over a month old.

I called my friend, his wife, and later stopped by her house just to let her know that I was here for her. There is nothing I can say to make it better. She went to bed last night one fourth of a happy family and woke up a 30 year old widow with two young children.

My heart aches for her so much right now.
