Such a sad story. Grief is a terrible thing but it is the price we pay for loving someone. The more we love, the more we grieve. This poor guy went through an awful lot.

Just a friendly reminder to hug the people you love. Squeeze them hard. And if you can't squeeze them in person, call them. Text them. Let them know you love them. You never know when it's going to be the last time you say those words and they'll be on the other end to hear them.
