Everyone I have talked to on the net today has no idea what happened to Matthew's dad. Seems that I am the only one who found out. I assume other know and there just not on my buddy list. Well I will continue to tell those who sign on. I will be attending the visitation tomorrow to pay my respects.
I have no way to describe how I feel right now. There is a numbness and a great pain. Death is something I was just starting to grasp.
What I really wonder is how matthew is taking all of this. The death of a parent is something everyone one must face in time. But it should never happen in ones youth. At every important event in Matthew's life there will be a little bit of sorry because his father will not be there to experience it with him. And that is something that no one should ever have to experience.

I need you again blog
Death has once again struck the collegiate family. Yet this time it is not with a student but with a parent. I woke up this morning telling me that Matthew's dad was dead. She preceded to tell me that it was suicide. I went down stairs and read the obituary and the article Doctor in prescription case kills himself . I feel numb once again. Things like this should never happen. I am going to assume this is the result of depression. I had a idea once that people in court cases such as these all those involved should be required to attend therapy. So that these events never have to occur again. This also reaffirms my belief that DEA is one big bully.
How is one to handle this?
Well I have gone thought something like this once before with the death of scott's mother. At that time I still did not understand death in the least. The concept had of death was not one I understood. Now that I have come to understand death this is much harder to deal with. Good people should not have this happen to them. When so many evil people live.
I suggest all those that now matthew to attend it is just the right thing to due.

To quote from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy,
A towel is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have. Partly it has great practical value - you can wrap it around you for warmth as you bound across the cold moons of Jaglan Beta; you can lie on it on the brilliant marble-sanded beaches of Santraginus V, inhaling the heady sea vapours; you can sleep under it beneath the stars which shine soredly on the desert world of Kakrafoon; use it to sail a mini raft down the slow heavy river Moth; wet it for use in hand-to-hand-combat; wrap it round your head to ward off noxious fumes or to avoid the gaze of the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal (a mindboggingly stupid animal, it assumes that if you can't see it, it can't see you - daft as a brush, but very ravenous); you can wave your towel in emergencies as a distress signal, and of course dry yourself off with it if it still seems to be clean enough.
More importantly, a towel has immense psychological value. For some reason, if a strag (strag: non-hitch hiker) discovers that a hitchhiker has his towel with him, he will automatically assume that he is also in possession of a toothbrush, face flannel, soap, tin of biscuits, flask, compass, map, ball of string, gnat spray, wet weather gear, space suit etc., etc. Furthermore, the strag will then happily lend the hitchhiker any of these or a dozen other items that the hitchhiker might accidentally have "lost". What the strag will think is that any man who can hitch the length and breadth of the galaxy, rough it, slum it, struggle against terrible odds, win through, and still knows where his towel is is clearly a man to be reckoned with.
