Loss

Lately it feels like all the solid things in my life are crumbling. I know it's selfish but I wish it would just stop. I wish I could fix my broken marriage but I can't. I wish I didn't have to leave this place with my friends and my job behind. Today was a final blow to me when I found out we lost Steve to his battle with ALS. He was/is a wonderful man who will always have a place in my heart and in the heart of everyone who was lucky enough to know him. He was the eternal optimist and I hope despite the dark days ahead of me that I can take a bit of his optimism and carry it with me. Steve thank you for everything you have done for me in my life and thank you for being like a 2nd dad to me up until the day you died! Rest in peace!!
