Something tragic happened. My sister-in-law, Bridget, lost her 21 year old brother to a car accident. Bridget has one brother, Matt. Zach's family lived with Matt in Florida. Zach received the news and had to call Bridget and her dad to let them know what happened, all while her mother was falling apart in her sister's arms. I can't even imagine having to make that phone call, let alone receive it. Complete tragedy.
The very same day that Matt was in an accident, Bridget left work on her break and was t-boned by somebody. She walked away from that accident without a scratch. It was later discovered that Matt was killed roughly an hour prior. Some may say she was lucky. We all feel Matt somehow played a part in protecting her. Matt was an awesome person. So friendly. So kind. He loved his family with all his heart. He loved and treasured his nephews with every inch of his being.
Matt was remembered in Virginia Beach at a local park where he enjoyed playing disc golf. Family and friends gathered to remember Matt and celebrate his life. The life that ended all too soon.
In the blink of an eye, everything can change. So forgive often and love with all your heart.
