My friend lost his son last Sunday [View all]

19 years old. First year of college. Computer Science major.

My friend spoke to his son on the phone Sunday night and all was good. Then 2 hours later the boy succumbed to an aneurysm at the brain stem area. Out of nowhere with no warning.

I spoke with my buddy last night. That was a tough phone call. He's devastated and so is his wife and daughter. I didn't know what to say other than I'm here for him. He worries about 2 weeks from now when the "darkness" comes. I told him I'll check on him. He has lots of friends but I figure you can't have too many at a time like this.

I'm shook up and can't imagine what his family is going through right now.

Hug your family because you never know.
