A good friend of my family's past away on Friday. I won't share his name but he committed suicide and it has left my family in a number of mental states.

I was thinking of the people that I use to value more than life itself. There is the family (a given), the Dodgers (of course), then there are the relationships with people we have come to forget.

Why, you ask. Because the end of the universe is closer than you know, so don’t temp fate by lining the stars for an on time departure for the Thorntons. In all honesty there is little that could have been. Other than the tarping extravaganza, there was little to no reason to leave behind schedule.
