Have you told anyone that you loved them today?
Black Mike's partner died yesterday from an AIDS related stroke.
Mikey played the best Rugby of his life that day. When he got the news later that evening, 1/2 the team stayed up all night with him. Behind the scenes, the team booked his flight and transportation from the airport home, and then drove him to the Dublin airport.
In today's rugby, matches were won, but that doesn't matter. We lost a member of our family.
Do me a favor. Tell someone you love them. Now. Right fucking now.

That kicked me in the gut. It's raw and real.
I feel a fraction of what you must feel because of how you wrote your post. I can tell you how sad I feel for Black Mike and all of you that love him, but words from me mean very little. But a little is what I can give.
*hug*
It's so sad to hear of the passing of one of the rugby team's family members, but does a heart good and proud to see the spirit and love that went into taking care of that fellow rugby player. Not to get all sappy, but well done.
