[QUOTE="Snarf Zagyg, post: 8554635, member: 7023840"] I appreciate all the people here. Thank you. I'm a little broken up about this right now because he left behind a spouse and daughter who is finishing her last year of middle school. And he was one of those guys that everyone loved- I mean, I can be a jerk sometimes, but he truly had no enemies. There is not a single person I know that doesn't have some story of his incredible kindness. The last in-person conversation I had with him was him reminding me that someone else deserved something, and that I needed to make it happen. He was always thinking of other people, right to the last. And at the same time, I see these other stories in the news. How hard is it to just behave like an adult on an airplane flight? To get vaccinated? To wear a mask when it's required? I get that sometimes things don't make sense- it can be weird to sit in a restaurant and eat and talk maskless, and then put it on to go and use the bathroom. But I'm not going to throw a tantrum and yell at the staff because they remind me to follow the rules. I don't understand when behaving like an adult, and showing kindness to others, fell out of fashion. Anyway, I'm going to channel this into something productive; I can't change what's going on everywhere else, but I can work with others to have a scholarship established in his memory and get a college fund established for his daughter. The best way to combat powerlessness is to do something positive & productive. I just really want to get back to fireballs and unicorns and dragons. [/QUOTE]
