An important reminder....

[Tacori E-ring]

DH just found out one of his highschool friends died last night. We don''t know the details yet. We just know he drowned. I feel really sad for him. It is always hard to lose a friend and harder when they are so young. I just want to remind everyone to never forget to tell your loved ones how much they mean to you. Cherish everyday.

I''m sorry.

I''m sorry.

Thanks Harriet. I didn''t know him well but 28 is too young to die and he and my husband were close. Just makes you appreciate everyday a little more.

How very thoughtful of you to remind us how important todays actions are. When a life is lost, we should all stop, and focus on the important people in our lives...

Thank you for being so thoughtful, at a time that is for you and your family a terrible tragedy. My sympathies.

Thank you DKS. I try to learn from every event (both good and bad). It is a shock (as any accidental dealth is). We haven''t seen him since our wedding. DH is very sad

Thanks Lisa. It is difficult (my hormones aren''t helping either!). I know we all have our heartaches. I just hope his family copes and can get the closure they will need. Life is very precious and fragile. Hugs back!

Thanks for posting this, Tacori.... I've been thinking about this so much recently. One of my closest friends from high school died in a car accident the summer after our freshman year of college (we actually went to the same college too... he waged a pretty good campaign our senior year convincing me to go there with him

). At the time it was the first significant loss I'd ever been through... it was such a broken, bewildering time trying to process how this very vibrant life had just suddenly stopped existing.

Next week (May 30th), it will have been 9 years, but it still feels so fresh... our wedding was especially emotional for his parents (and our friends)... since we're all so visibly growing up, yet he will forever be 19 in our minds. Since then, we've been through other tragedies... but that one always feels the hardest. I don't think anyone's ever prepared to lose a friend so young.

Hugs to you and your hubby... give yourself time to grieve, but telling old stories and laughing helps too... we always think about how Drew would have wanted us to remember him, and we know he would have preferred the laughter to the tears.

I am so sorry to hear this. It just gives me chills to hear of a 28 year old dying in an accident. My thoughts are with your husband and the man''s family and all friends.

 

[FireGoddess]

That is so tragic - I''m so sorry to hear this. It''s a good reminder though - to tell your loved ones that you love them.

 

[Tacori E-ring]

Thank you everyone for your kind words. It was all over their local news last night (where DH is from). DH said he was one the swim team so something else had to come into play (drinking, cold water, maybe he hit his head). We will know soon. DH was telling me stories about him last night. I think he is still in disbelief.

That is so sad. My condolences to you and your hubby.

Tacori, I am so sorry. What an awful thing to happen. Thank you for bringing such a positive message to us...I''m sure we could all do more everyday to show our loved ones how we feel...and this tragic event is a perfect example of why we should. I''m sending comforting thoughts for your hubby.

I'm sorry for your husbands loss Tacori. Thank you for your reminder, it's an important one. ((HUGS))

 

[Tacori E-ring]

Thank you everyone for taking the time to respond. I don''t ususally start these kinds of threads but I was inspired to after his death. It is so easy to take things for granted. DH is doing well. He was in a bad mood today (understandably). We will go back to Ohio for the funeral as soon as the details get sorted out. People may differ but the support you can get from a community like this is very helpful. So thank you again.

Oh, gosh, Tacori. I''m so sorry. 28 is way too young. Was he married yet? Any kids? His parents must be totally grief stricken.

 

[diamondseeker2006]

Oh S, I am so very sorry to hear this sad news! {{{{hugs}}}

 

[Tacori E-ring]

Lumpkin I guess he was actually 31 (DH is 28 so I just assumed) Not married, no kids, and I don''t think he was dating anyone. His dad died when he was young so his mom has been through more than her fair share.


Thanks J! I think we both feel really sad for him. There is so much he never got to experience.

Tacori- I am so sorry! (hugs) to you and your husband

 

[AGBF]

I am sorry, Tacori. I am sure this kind of untimely, tragic loss is something we can all relate to. As you pointed out, it can hit any of us at any time. Please give my condolences to your husband.
