I found out yesterday that a good friend of mine got killed in a car wreck along with his 13yr old daughter last Wednesday about 2 hours after I got off the phone with him. He was also a client of mine and we had spent the better part of 30-40 min talking as we always have for almost 11 years. Yesterday, when I called in to follow up on some things that he had asked me about, his assistant was in tears telling me the news and I was numb, it was gut wrenching. I hate to use the term but its surreal, I just havent really come to terms with the finality of it all...

Jeff was one of those rare types; He was a brilliant surgeon and was voted one of the best in the country 6-7 times, was very active in his church and was one of the nicest, most generous, kindest souls that you could ever have hoped to meet, The things that he did and gave in the name of philanthropy and generosity were astounding. I always think that my clients are lucky to have me but in this instance, I was the lucky one.

As bad as I felt, I then thought of his wife who just lost her husband and only child and I cant begin to concieve of the grief that she is going through and how she will ever make it through.I can only pray that her suffering eases quickly but I cant imagine that pain ever going away. Personally, Id want to go to sleep and never wake up...

So hold on tight to the ones you care about, be it family or friends and never stop letting them know how you feel about them and never take any of that for granted. you will never have anything more valuable than your friends and family, Bill Gates money doesnt even come close...

Sorry to hear that brother. Prayers going up for the family and yourself. If you need an ear to chew on...
 
Sorry to hear that Kage..... Prayers headed up North.
 
I am sorry about this Kage, I dont even want to pretend I know what the wife is feeling right now and hope I never have to join that club.

Mojo sent to her.
 
My condolences.
That is absolutely terrible.
What his poor wife must be going through...
 
That is very sad. Mojo sent to their family and friends.
 
I can't imagine the greif his wife must be going through. Sorry to hear that and you have my and I am sure the entire RT memberships thoughts and wishes for healing.
 
When someone is suddenly taken from you the pain is impossible to describe. It really does feel like you're getting kicked in the gut...over and over again. You get totally disoriented and nothing seems real for a long time. I lost my younger brother in a horrible car accident 8 years ago...man, it seems like yesterday. The pain gets less as time goes by, however, if I sit and think about it for more than a minute I still bust up crying. It sounds corny but there are songs that I can't listen too because they remind me of him and set me off...

Like Kage said, NEVER take your loved ones for granted and ALWAYS hold them close. If you're currently fighting with a loved one and you're not talking to them or seeing them because of it...STOP IT!!! :gethim: Life's just too damn short for such stupid nonsense.

Sorry for the rambling...things like this just set me off.
 
Man i am so sad to hear this :no: I cant even begin to imagine how this guys wife must feel right now.

Why does this stuff ALWAYS happen this time of year too? :(

Amen Brother.

I thank God everyday for my family, friends and our health. I'm blessed financially but nothing compares to my family. Would rather be poor and have them then to be well off and without them. Before I hang up the phone with any of my fam and my close friends I always say I love you.

On a personal note. Sorry for your loss bro. Words can't ever heal what your feeling but keep your head up bro.
 
May she lean upon God in this trial. My prayers are with her and that she may find comfort in our prayers. Family is without a doubt the the most important thing in my life and I to thank God whenever I think about them, which is all the time!
Kage you are a man who is compassionate, loving and supportive to all you come in contact with.
 
As much as all this sucks,thanks for sharing Kage....we all need a wake up call from time to time.


Prayers for his wife and you.
 
I can't even imagine what the wife is going through - all of the sudden her world was shattered. No one should have to go through that. Hopefully she has a support system to help her through. Hopefully everyone who deeply cared about those two have a support system to help them cope with the grief.
 
my gut hurt just reading that. i lost my pop 10 years ago and still cant sit thru father-son moments in movies... i could never and would never want to think what that would be like loosing two people at once.

my sincere condolences...
 
Prayers and Mojo sent.

To the advice "Never take loved ones for granted" A big +1. This is coming from someone who lost their mom in a car accident and step mom to cancer within the last 6 years.
 
Kinda makes me think about that Korean guy in CA. Leaves for work in the morning, and a Navy plane crashes into his home, killing his wife, 2 kids, and mother in law. In the blink of an eye your entire family is gone and you're alone.
 
Holy shit bro, that truly sucks.
Prayers sent for the family and especially the wife.
