You know, it's one thing to lose a grandparent or even a parent. But when we lose a friend (near our own age) it makes us look at things a little bit differently. I came VERY close to it in 1996, and that experience changed me as a person.
We all like to think we're immortal and too young to die, but every now and then reality smacks us right in the face. We've all lost two friends on this board (Martin and now Chazz), and I can't help but think that there may be a few others that we don't know about.
I forget how old Martin was, and Chazz was 38. I lost a good friend at 25, a high school classmate at 16, and a sister at 2 DAYS old.
Thank you for being a friend, Charles.
