Here one day, Gone the next

A few days ago, I got a call from my sister, who told me that on a friend's facebook was posted that his brother had passed away, at the age of 38.  It's hard to believe.

He was 38, only 6 years older than I am.  Certainly puts things into perspective.  He'll be buried in Forest Dale tomorrow.  I'm still deciding whether or not to go.  I don't do funerals well.  I'm a bit awkward when it comes to interacting with people who have suffered a loss.

I knew Jay when we started going to the Forest Dale Wesleyan Church.  I do remember when him and his brother had to do some tests.  There was a heart condition that was genetic.  Ironically, they were more worried about his younger brother than they were with him.  This just prove that no matter how advanced our technology has become, you still can't predict the future.

I'm going to hug my kids now...
