[QUOTE="Bones, post: 260048, member: 15"] Just a reminder to give the ones you love an extra hug, kiss, reach around, whatever gets your point across. Saturday one of my best friends since childhood lost his older brother suddenly when he was cutting down trees and one fell on him. People can crack jokes all they want about "how stupid do you have to be to..." but when it hits home I could care less if he died rescuing a kid from a burning house or stuck himself with a knitting needle in the heart. Either way his wife is now a widow, his 2 kids are now without a Dad, his brother and business partner is now struggling with God knows what kind of questions. It really hit home when it' someone you have known your entire life. Mitch and his wife were much older than us by 12 years or so, they bought us beer in High School. Mitch would gladly go get us a case of beer for the $5 we had as long as he could drive his brothers 74 Trans Am to the store (he'd come back a hour later and a half tank of gas missing) sunot He was lucky enough to work with his father and brother for many many years, volunteer fireman, saw his two kids grow up and get married, lived a simple small town life and was just a good damn person to have known. You all would have loved this redneck Iowan. Mitch (left) and his brother (my best friend Wes, right with Wes' lil girl) [IMG]http://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn1/542995_3939374371429_507328756_n.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
