His Father

So, Tony lost his father today.

They hadn't spoken in about six years, but I know the loss is far greater than Tony would ever let show. He learned early in life to hide his emotions. It doesn't mean he is any less upset than I would be.

It's unfortunate that Tony will never again have the opportunity to bridge that gap that was created so long ago. And it's all because some asshole drunk driver didn't have the ability or desire to slow down as he approached an intersection. The drunk driver hit two vehicles, injuring himself, killing Tony's father, and injuring the driver of the third vehicle. The drunk driver and the injured driver received medical attention and will probably be just fine. Tony's father will not. And Tony will not.

Please do not drink and drive.
