Not a good start today

Today started out poorly.
My wife's mom passed away this morning.
She had a stroke a while back and had been going downhill since then.
And then, not even 30 minutes later, I found out that a man who was more or less a mentor to me when I was a young kid building engines, passed away this morning. He was a mentor to the local high school drag racing team and has always been a teacher of sorts, to guys building performance engines.
My brother in law and him were close friends and the two of them helped me become a mechanic.
Kind of a tough way to start a day.

I'm sorry to hear that. I always try to focus on the positive aspects of the lives of lost loved ones and the memories of all their experiences we shared, helps me a bit to cope. I'm a bit like Yoda from Star Wars when it comes to mortality, so that's the best I can do I'm afraid.

Tony, so sorry to hear about your losses. I will keep you and your family in my prayers. I had a good mentor like that once who passed. I used to call him once a week when he moved to another state. I still find myself wanting to do that, and he has been gone 12 years. Hang in there.I was born a fool, and just got bigger!1
