This evening I attended the wake for Hakim and was overcome with emotion. My soccer team is a band of brothers and his father’s loss is our loss. When I returned home to learn that Kyle had obtained his driving permit and had driven home I could not see past my fear of losing my own child to share his enthusiasm for reaching this milestone. I know that Bahi will carry the burden of his son’s loss for the rest of his life and I will do what I can to ease that pain. This reminder of how quickly we can lose a loved one will also cause me to find more moments to cherish my own family.
