It has been a bad month

It has been one of the worst months in my life.  

But I am lucky, I have a great wife and two amazing children.  I work in a job I love and they support me there.  And I have been lucky enough to have a mother who is an inspiration, and although many things can be said about my father, he loved me in his own way and taught me a lot of things, and taught me what not to be.

As this month has reminded me, the most precious things can be taken away from us and my heart truly goes out to those who have experienced such losses.
