I talked with him in the early evening, a kid whose mother and father fought through and over since he was a small child. His mother had, rather than have to deal with him, allowed him to live in an old bus on his maternal grandfather's property. Homeless, basically.
When I told him we were going to Chicago he said, "Take me..." He said it in a pleading manner rather than kidding around. In the light of this, heartbreaking to say the least.
His father Dan Sr., my bother-in-law, had brought him down to his house to celebrate his birthday. They got into a fight, both drunk, and Danny stomped out of the house. He ended up on I79, crossed the interstate and was hit by a car.
Nice thing to be awakened with at 2 in the morning.
Really screws up our time line, but Barb thinks we have to go to Chicago to let off steam. We'll keep all posted with what's going on.

It makes me think about all of my friends who are no longer with us and makes me wonder who rolls those dice of life. It doesn't make any sense any way you try to understand.
Sometimes $hit happens and people pay the price. Good or bad, planned or not it just comes around.
I hope you feel better soon,

We don't shush around here!
Life is analog...digital is just samples thereof
...My condolences to you & yours Mikey.
I lost my twenty year old sister in your fair land over thirty years ago and it still hurts but I very quickly learned to smile whenever I thought of her, it sure beats crying.
Stay positive mate.

Good vibes to all of your family, Mike. 21 is way too young to leave this planet, although it happens far too frequently.
Best wishes,
Todd
It's a shame to see a young person lose their life especially given
the circumstances. Let it go and let it be. You cannot change other
people and how they live. I have learned this lesson the hard way
over the past year. Go to Chicago and give that little gray kitty
a rub on the belly for me.
That little gray kitty and his sister won't be here till after Central Fest...my trip down your way has been postponed...drop me a line for the dates and maybe you, Will and I can get together...my schedule is flexible so it probably wouldn't be unreasonable for me to take a side trip to Greensboro, but Raleigh's a bit far.

Those who have posted and those who are unable to...words escape us sometimes. The vibes are just as healing as the words.
Too much that's ugly in this world...but so much beauty to assuage the pain.
You're all beautiful.

I enjoy your posts and feel like I know you. I hate it when bad things happen to my friends. Hang in there.

May he be at peace.
a young life ended so quickly. Hell, he hardly had the time to make half the mistakes that I made.

thinking of something to say and I can't, except sorry to hear about this.

Mike, so sorry to hear that news. It's one of those events that you don't ever "get over." Burying a younger member of the family just seems so unfair.
allow me to express my sincere condolences. May he ever rest in peace.

loosing a kid is one of the hardest things.
But I agree with those who say that you should make the trek to Chicago. An awful thing to happen to that kid, both in life and death.
to run blindly away from the stabbing pain of the life he was dealt....this goes beyond sad. It is a criminal thing...I am sorry for those involved, how very devastating this is.
Mikey, I am sure that Danny knew that you and Barb loved him regardless of his situation with his parents. Enjoy Chicago. Will
Parents fighting over children. Parents fighting "through" children. Children (somewhat or completely) abandoned by their parents. Children fighting with their parents. Children dying young. Children dying on their birthday.
My heart goes out to your entire family, Mike. Please convey my sincerest condolences to Barb, and give your kids all the love and affection that you think they can handle.
And then give them some more.

I don't know if there is a right thing to do, but if Barb wants to go to Chicago, then go. But be careful driving. A thing like that can be quite a distraction.
Had a friend that was going to the Philly Folk Festival with me a good number of years back, and her brother was killed in a car accident a few days before. She wasn't sure whether to go or spend time with the family. I thought going to the Folk Fest would help her get it off her mind and lift her spirits. She finally decided to come a long. If it helped or not, I wasn't sure. The fact that it rained and made a muddy mess with several inches of water in the tent, didn't help a whole lot.
My thoughts and prayers with with you and Barb and the rest of the family today.
Neil

all the best,

I'm trying not to say that selfishly. I'm saying it because the driving will be very therapeutic for you and help clear your heads. Twenty six years ago I got the shock of my life, getting a phone call from my father telling me my mother had been in a horrific accident and was in a coma...six days later the inevitable happened. Trust me, Mike, you need to get out of the house, right away. Staying home and sulking won't change things, it can only make things worse.
It will be therapeutic for you to see loved ones (MIL and Ryan). It will help you and Barb get through it by being with us and having an unforgettable time. You know I'm here for you and know others such as Bruce and Godfather will be here to put your heart and mind in a happy place. You'll never forget Danny and the way he left. Time will heal much of the hurt. Meanwhile please always try to remember good things about Danny. You'll cry and cry and cry - we all do from time to time - but that's part of what makes us human and shows we care about each other.
So come and have a heck of a time. Bring Danny's spirit with you to Chicago, to grant his request. We'll all raise a glass to Danny and to you and Barb for being such wonderful friends.
Brian Walsh
Sorry Mike........can't think of anything worthy of saying otherr than that.

Question "Authority", the mainstream media sucks - Go Independent and hold BOTH parties accountable instead of just the other guys!
I need music to help forget the reality of today
