Our family is pretty damn close, about this time of the year, a few years back, my brother was involved in a high speed accident where his motor bike hit a patch of ice and laid his bike down on the road. Because of the velocity of speed he was going, he slid into a light post and was struck dead immediately, his neck broken in several places all at once. He was only twenty-four and his life was good. He was the most careful driver I knew and I could trust him with my own life on the backseat of a motorcycle.
It just goes to prove that we are not invincible, that we are indeed, very mortal.
That is all I have to say.
