If some feel that I'm being too harsh, I'm truly sorry. I'm not in a good place at the moment - my heart is broken. My son came over unexpectedly yesterday and I didn't think anything of it at first - I thought maybe he just wanted some of his Mama's cooking - that was until he asked me to sit down; he had something to tell me. Of course my first thought was that something happened to my other son who lives in Wisconsin and I refused to sit down. He reassured me that it wasn't my other son, his brother, and than he told me that it was my nephew. He's a lobsterman and he fell of the boat and drown yesterday. Fellow fishermen who were out on their boats pulled him out of the water and performed CPR, the EMT's when they arrived on the scene, and the hospital when he arrived there by ambulance, tried desparately to save him but it just wasn't to be. He was 27 years-old and he has a wife and a 3 year-old son who he just adored. I can still remember the day my nephew came home from the hospital, 27 years ago, like it was just yesterday. He weighed 10 lbs, 2 ounces so we lovingly called him "moose-moose" which, by the time he was two changed and from then on we called him "Cricky" - short for Christopher. My first-born was born two weeks after him so they grew up as best buddies. Him and his wife are flying in for the funeral service and my son, his gf, and myself will be driving. I'm still in shock but there's no denying it with all of the news stations and newspapers here in Maine running the story. I need to try to get a little nap - everytime I closed my eyes last night I saw his beautiful face and the face of Christian, his son, and the tears just flowed, thinking about another child in the world without a Daddy.
Junior needs you Ronald, this life that we're given isn't a game. It's deadly serious.
JMHO -
