My neighbor has been “singing” karaoke for at least the last half hour. He’s quite good and I think he should send in an audition tape for the next season of American Idol. This dude could be the next William Hung.

Today is April 6th, 2006. Ten years ago, my younger brother, Matt, was killed in a senseless car accident. He was 16 years old. He may not cross my mind as often as he should but not a day goes by where I don’t miss him. It’s hard to believe it’s been ten years already. In some ways, it feels longer than that. In others, it seems like it was just yesterday.
I often wonder where he’d be if he was alive today. I certainly know he would be married. He likely would even have a couple of kids. Wherever he might have ended up, I’m sure he would have made my family proud. But we’ll never know due to one person’s stupid mistake. At least I know he’s in a better place right now.
I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.
I was reminded tonight of how life has a funny way of following a peak with a valley, and vice versa. At one point this evening, my confidence level was as high as it had been in quite some time. That lasted for all of a half hour, at which point it was beaten right back down to a below normal level, which is where it stands now. Interesting, indeed.
