Now that was a good article! When ever anything bad happens to me I try to play it back like that in my mind, like a time-line if you will. Just a few changes and maybe the bad doesn't happen.
Go back and read it and decide what little changes in his day on 12/8 could have saved his life.
I was just listening to and do every year around this time "So this is Christmas", I try to reflect on my year during the song and where I want to go next year. I can remember smiling listening to it some years and crying other years when listening to it. Powerful song!
