Too Many Deaths

Another tragedy hit Summit County this week.  It's too much.  Another life was taken at too young of an age.  My heart is breaking for Carol and the kids.  They are friends of ours and they have 4 kids.  Billy was kayaking down the Blue River and died doing what he loved to do.  I had read in our local newspaper that someone had died on the Blue and they hadn't released the name.  Hannah and I dropped Jordan off at the movies, went to the farmers market in Dillon and I bumped into some friends and, of course, everyone was hoping it was someone we didn't know.  We were all talking about the death of the kayaker in the Blue.   Well, we do know him and now we are dealing with another death in our tight knit community.  The service will be Thursday at Copper Mountain.  The last time I saw Billy was at Leif's service in Keystone.  We shared a hug and some sadness. 
Life is way too short.  Hug your kids, your family, your friends, your pets, yourself.
