Sometimes things just hurt more….

Since I got back from vacation three days ago, I have had nothing but bad news.

Sunday my buddies house burned down.
Monday My cousin died ( age 52)
Monday Mike Davies died (age 33)
Wednesday Ted Kennedy dies ( age 100)

When you think about it, ya it sucks that my buddies house burned down, but nobody was hurt, and he has a great insurance agent, and his house will be better than ever when it is rebuilt, and he will have more value than he did before, and brand new stuff.
My cousin died. He was a good guy, but he led a different life. One he chose and i think he died happy and peaceful. Maybe we all should have been more like him.
Ted Kennedy died, and good riddance to the old fool. He killed a woman and was a big boozebag. he held on too long to a job, that he could no longer perform. He will be treated to a funeral fit for a national hero. Who cares.

But a young guy I know, Mike Davies from Weymouth was run over by a geriatric driver while on duty for the Weymouth police department. Now that is really sad. he had 3 kids, he was a veteran from Iraq, and he has a great extended family. I know his dad and mom and his brother. All great and beautiful people. This to me is a real tragedy and why I say

” Some things just hurt more”

Cory and Mike just 36 hours before he passed. Just having fun drinking and laughing.
