I Kinda Wish The Season Was Over

[GMScud]

To be cliche- This too shall pass, time heals all wounds.

A week ago today I was a wreck. It had been just one day after healing Sean had passed, and I was breaking down into tears like once every hour. I'll always, ALWAYS miss that guy. But seeing the funeral, reading the articles and player interviews, going to work every day, focusing on normal life stuff, it hasn't weighed on me as much the past few days. Sean's death is an awful thing, but I can compartmentalize. I don't want the season to be over. I want to slowly return to normalcy, just like the Skins. If we can get a win under our belt tomorrow it will help the healing a lot I think.

My freshman year of college was a nightmare. Just two weeks after classes started, one of my best friends from high school was killed by a drunk driver. Two months later my grandma died just 4 weeks after being diagnosed with cancer. And then right after Christmas that same year, one of my childhood friends with whom I played pop warner and little league, decided it would be a good idea to hang himself. Prior to those 4 months I had never dealt with death. And suddenly it was right in my face, 3 times in 120 days. It was so, so hard to cope with all that. I thought I would never recover. But again, to be cliche, that which didn't kill me made me stronger. Since that time I've helped a bunch of friends through times of loss. While I'm no expert, I know the pain of Sean's passing will fade, but his memory will live on strongly.

Now let's go Bear hunting dammit!!!
