My best friends and I have been together since we were 5.

I just got word that one of my best friend's daughter died from an asthma attack early this morning. She was 6. She won't get to repeat my opening statement...

Hug your kids...right now!

Tell them you love them... a lot!

Forgive your kids for any perpetrations they have done up to this point...verbally, subconsciously, totally, and unconditionally.

I have no way of understanding how his family feels right now...and I live 5 hours away, and can't be there for him.

Tearfully,
Mike
