I attended the wake today. It was really hard seeing that small casket... ...and seeing his older brother there, just holding on.

The media didn't have the decency to stay away, but the local police kept them at the opposite end of the parking lot... ...but there were two news guys standing in the entrance drive. I wanted to run one over on the way out.

This young man was less than a year away from his TKD black belt. I was pretty solid untill I saw that our TKD school had made an honorary black belt with his name embroidered on it draped across the casket. I watched him work SO hard for it for over two years. Cue the tears. He would have acheived it, no doubt.
