A perspective on life after an emotional week

I was an emotional wreck for the better part of last week.
Allow me to step away from sports briefly and share a couple of events that put so many things in perspective for me.
While watching the first day of the Union County junior high basketball tournament at West Union, I received the painful news that a friend from college passed away the night before.
I’m only 27, as was Jermaine. That’s 27 short years for him and many more from here on that his family has to live without him. He chose to end his own life. Why, only he knows.
