Ode to Dirk

I had an old acquaintance pass away due to a 4 wheeler accident back in SLC. It felt weird to know that Dirk had gone before his time. Death always makes me feel anxious about the things that I am doing with my life that I want to see accomplished. Finishing law school to seeing were it takes me. There are obvious things like a family and having little babies with more hair than I've had in years. It put into perspective all those little things that you do everyday that may seem insignificant but you never know when you might not make it home. Death too soon makes you remember that maybe you should tell your mom that she is a good mom and that regardless of growing up the way things where I still ended up a good kid. I'm having trouble finding the words to express to all my family and friends on how much they have meant over the years or days/ hours whatever the case maybe. Thanks for believing in me I guess. Remember, remember that life is way too short. So if you have to make a few awkward phone calls or you get one from me just know that I like to keep things aligned. Dirk, take care man
