I was able to read it. Perhaps your IP has been there too many times this month.

An all too common story about life. I'm still "young" but so much of life is in my rear view mirror, littered with regrets. I have nothing but first world problems, and while they seem important to me, other people have it worse.

wow... that is a emotional story.

much respect to Paul for sharing that...

 

[BillDineen]

Sad story. Puts things into perspective.

 

[Danko]

Awesome article, as the poser above says it definitely puts things in perspective

Strong words. Wow.

 

[BritainStix]

God damn it. Life ****ing sucks.

A must read.

Btw - those arent tears, I'm definitely not crying

 

[Appleyard]

Read it on the tram this afternoon... had to work hard not to shed a tear, and I am not exactly a very emotional person in general!

As someone with five siblings really hit something inside me.

 

[Ghosts Beer]

Too much. Too much ****ing perspective.

Very sad and a touching tribute.

Very touching read. Having dealt with immediate lost it's amazing what memories small or large stick out so profoundly. I'll forever cheerish the (literally) thousands of hours driving to and from hockey practice with my dad. And the time I had to lie to my mom when he bought me my first one-piece(the original synergy haha).

I'm sure this was very therapeutic for Holmgren so I'm happy he had the opportunity to publish this.
