Unfortunately he didn’t make it and left behind my (then) 5 year old niece.  My uncle duties, and brother to my sister had to step up.  I was asked on the spot to pray for my family - my parents, my sister, my wife my brother in laws mom and his brother.  I also was asked to write the obituary and then give a speech at the funeral.

That shook me, for a while and it still hurts.  Once you experience that, it changes you… it did for me anyway.  I have more empathy for others in that situation, than I used to, but it de-sensitized things for me. If that makes sense.

I can understand how the bills players/family is feeling. But there is the other side of needing to get back to life.  It’s NOT easy, but it gets easier with time.  

Plus by all accounts, the tests/progress that has shed positive light are likely the same tests I saw performed with no such luck.  It also doesn’t hurt that we are talking about a young professional athlete, which does only help the prognosis.

But your right, Sean Taylor, Chris Henry, dale earnhardt, the HS kid that passed away due to a heat stroke, the list goes on.

I can understand that 834%. It's what...allows...me to make my previous post. 

I can start to choke up and shed tears at things i never would have before. Sappy parts of movies, hearing about something that happened to someone, etc., but i can also be completely blank in other situations where you would expect someone to react to something traumatic.
