It’s 10:47 pm on Saturday, and I’m already in my Jack pjs, makeup wiped off, and exhausted beyond belief…but I had the best freaking time. I can’t wait to tell you all about it.

My thoughts are with Grant’s family. After reading most of his blog entries, Grant strikes me as a man who was loved and had love for others. His family can take comfort in that he reached others–even in death. And his son, when he grows up, will be able to find his blog and discover the man that his father was. Although I’m sure Grant’s wife will tell their son stories about his father, too.

What a lovely, moving tribute to your friend, Lisa. Such a sad loss! But his blog makes clear that he lived life and touched the lives of others. I hope his family will find comfort in remembering that. They–and you–will be in my prayers.

I’m holding Grant’s wife, son and family in my thoughts and prayers, Lisa. Death at such a young age is never easy to understand. May we all find comfort in Grant’s blog and may we take the time to reach out more to those around us.

Thank you all for sharing and commenting on my tribute to Grant. His blog is a beautiful testimony to the wonderful person he was.

I wish I had more time to comment but I’m swamped today:)

Thank you Ter for the sweet words, I wouldn’t be the same if I didn’t have my blog partners.

Lisa - a very moving and heartfelt tribute. Death is always hard but when they’re so young the senselessness seems to add more grief, IMO. His family with be in my prayers.

Thanks for sharing his story with us.

I went and checked out his blog and cried though that most recent entry. He had such joy and it came right off the screen. I know he’ll still be there watching every game, but it’s just so unfair.

Ditto what Terri said, Lisa, we would all be less without you and your ability to make us pause and reflect. You’ve definitely got the AWW factor in spades; never worry. NEVER WORRY.

What a touching tribute to him–and I’m glad to know him through you, though I now wish I knew him more.

This reminds me of the ONLY thing I remember reading in my English classes. It was a sermon–about For Whom The Bell Tolls. No man is an island; when a man is lost, we are all diminished. We are all diminished, definitely, with the loss of Grant.

It’s so incredibly sad. His family, especially his son and wife, are in my thoughts and prayers to get through this rough time.

I agree with everyone. Life is short and sometimes we don’t realize just how short it is while we’re going through the daily grind. We take for granted all the moments because we keep thinking there will be others.
