Can we go back in time?

Yesterday we lost a great family friend. Kevin Kramer lived across the street and it was heart wrenching to watch out of our picture window from across the street while my husband stood by with the medics trying to save him. A great life was lost, I know that I did not know him long.... but the two years that I have know him he has been a great friend. I know that he was very close with my husband and father in law. It was a terrible feeling after my husband came back home knowing he was in our bedroom crying while I sat in the living room nursing our daughter. I know I can't be in two places at once, but I really wish I could have been. Kevin was such a humorus guy. Always joking and giving shit. I am going to miss him stopping in the street in front of our house to roll his window down to chat. It still dosen't seem real. It sucks. Kevin was one of the first people I met here in town when I started dating my husband. I am friends with his youngest daughter, Courtney. She is my age. I can not imagine what she is going through. What is it like to just not have your dad anymore? She will never have her father daughter dance. I feel for her. It sucks knowing that nothing I can say or do will help. Thankfully they have a LARGE family that is right by their side during this tough time. The thoughs and prayers go out from our home to theres. Kevin will be greatly missed, but heaven gained one hell of a good man yesterday. Rest in peace Kevy. I miss ya!!
