BD One Year Later

[hopefulinga]

Tonight I ask for prayers for H. If you've read my sitch over the past year, you may recall that we lost a partner in a plane to a crash 7/12, our close friend/flight instructor to a crash 8/12, H had heart surgery 1/13 and we lost another close friend to a heart problem shortly thereafter.

Today, H lost another very close friend to a tragic car accident. The friend is a narcotics agent and died in the line of duty when someone ran into his vehicle and he then hit a pole. The man's son is one of my airport employees, so this family is "family" and we've known them a long time.

I had to teach and I let H know that I would stay with him if he wanted, but that I understood if he needed time alone. He said he would be fine (which I know is not true because I could hear him crying over the phone earlier). I know that he had friends around him this evening. H ate a Lean Cuisine which lets me know he's not right.

This has been such a tragic 12 months, all the way around. I will do my best to support H but not try to "mother" him.

I cannot imagine the mortality thoughts H must have.
