Loss

There's something horribly tragic about reading a guys myspace...after he's been killed.

Take a look.

My sister's friend

I'm so sorry for the sadness you guys are going through. I remember...when this happened to us in highschool...not quite the same but heartwrenching still. Evan, my heart and prayers go out to you, as to Mikes family, and Bob and Steph too. I'm praying that the faith Mike's family has expressed will hold them fast now. I could not imagine the horror...

It reminds me of a song I heard a few years ago. Mark Martel from the band Downhere
(they've also got a blog--downhere.blogspot.com and myspace.com/downhere) wrote a song in his earlier years. My brother went to Briercrest with him and nabbed this homemade CD.

Here's the words while you listen.

Barely 20 he was young

My friend

But his course already run

By his life I'm still inspired

An inextinguishable fire

If I ever understand

It will only be in part

Cause all the reasons are down here

Barely 20 he was young

Oh, my friend

But his race already won

And by his life I'm still inspired

Inextinguishable fire

If we ever understand

It will only be in part

Cause all the reasons are Down Here

Down Here

Down Here

Down Here

Whoa

Down Here...

Say

Goodbye

For now

You try

To say

Goodbye...
