Numb

It's about the best way I can describe the feeling.

About 3:30 pm today I received word that one of my people had died in a motorcycle accident.

Five and a half hours later, after gathering info, writing reports and, more importantly, making sure the young man's grieving family have what information and meager support you can give them, all that's left is numbness.

What a great person this young man was; conscientious in his work and a very safe rider who always used his equipment. How unbelievably tragic.
