I have a heavy heart today. I am wanting to hug my grandson Oliver. I have hugged my lovely partner multiple times today.
The news came hard late yesterday afternoon out of Saskatchewan, a bus carrying a Junior A hockey team the Humboldt Bronco's collided with a semi trailer, killing 14 people and injuring another 14 people.
The coach/GM and the captain were among the deceased. Teenagers and young adults with dreams of careers/scholarships in hockey in the prime of their life taken way too soon.
In my 54 years I have ridden the bus to games in all types of weather and seasons of the year. Whether it be for rugby, hockey, basketball or soccer we never had any issues/incidents, however, the potential was always there.
I cannot fathom what the families of the people involved are going through. Hoping, praying for the best, however, expecting the worst. The gamut of emotions I don't want to ever experience. I have gained a wonderful family and do not want anything to happen to them. My stepchildren and grandson have become incredibly special and important to me.
Hug your loved ones today. Heaven gained some special Angels.
