My staffer, Justin Bennett, died in the wee hours of the morning.
This is now a really fucking bad day.
God damn, that's a fucking shame. Sorry to hear it.
I saw your post from last night this morning. Do you know what happened that it turned so quickly?
No. I'd offered to go sit with his wife at the hospital last night while he was in surgery, but she was feeling overwhelmed trying to hold it together in front of hospital staff and said she'd reach out if she needed me. I sent a message a little after midnight asking how she was holding up, but she didn't immediately respond. I went to bed. Had the phone alert set on high, but her message at 2:45 asking if I could maybe come get her didn't wake me. I got it at 5:20, and responded, asking if I could come get her. She got back to me at 7:30 with the news.
Maybe I should have just gone down there. Dammit to hell.
