sad news death in the family

[murphy4trees]

here's an email I sent to Roachy

The way he's handling it has been very impressive.... I sure hope he doesn;t hold back the tears... When I heard, I started wailing right in front of a customer, which was kinda strange, because I rarely even answer the phone when I Am doing estimates....

Tree climbers face death every time we strap on a saddle and we use that proximity to death to empower our work and our lives. This is different though... John called it "new territory".

I believe in silver linings... And hopefully John can find one here that makes some good come out of his son's death. In the mean time it is a reminder to us all that every moment with our loved ones is precious.

Murphy, how is your buddy doing? Kids and vehicles are a deadly combo sadly. Not to mention the emotional luggage a lot of often innocent drivers have to carry around the rest of their lives.

I'm hanging in there, each day is different. Last night I was up until about 3 o'clock in morning couldn't sleep. I just couldn't find the strength to get out of bed this morning so here I am.

I added a page to website if anyone wants to take a look, I put together a little memorial page for him. Later I plan on breeding reining horses and naming each and everyone after him.

I'm sorry brother. I hope over time it will get better. Last week I buried my father in law, it was difficult to watch him die from lung cancer. The family did have time to prepare but it didnt make it easier.

I'm giving myself alot of time I cant imagine what your going thru Big John hang tuff and thanks Murphy for posting.
