I think I told you but Travis Arreguin and his wife were killed in a motorcycle accident last week. I'm sure you remember, but he was the one who owned the house on the corner and paid you a year at a time for lawn care and snow removal (that's how you got your giant TV!) I know you remember all of this.
Anyway, there was an accident on Friday night and the report just said two motorcyclists were killed and it was on Michigan Ave. between here and Clinton, so I did not expect to know who it was. I found out Saturday night on the way back from Hope's tournament who it was and my heart stopped. It was weird to read about it and be on the other side of a tragedy again and feel how others probably felt when they heard about you. It was a little bit healing in a way-I don't know why.
Even though I pretty much didn't know them, it still affected me. It especially broke my heart to hear that she had a daughter who is Carter's age. She was on the Toronto trip when it happened. She came home to her whole world being turned upside down. Poor girl. I know when she saw her mom before she left for Toronto that she never would have imagined that would be the last time they would be together on this earth. That is her new reality, whether she likes it or not. (I know she doesn't like it).
I think one aspect of it that is weird, is that before your accident, I could only imagine what the families were feeling, etc. Now I know. Firsthand. I don't have to guess anymore. Love you boy!
