Why didn't you tell me you were going?

A well liked football player died here recently.  By his own hand.  I'm not a football fan, but felt saddened by the story like any human being.  It was giving me a lot of thoughts about how money and success don't equate to peace in life.  And then I saw this-

Mother

And even though our stories could not be more different, her pain cut through me.  A mothers pain.

I thought the same thing when I saw his parents on tv. It's like a foreign language that I understand completely. It's rather horrible.

He's my age, and I guess ergo I followed his career a bit so this one is hitting me especially hard.
