My best friend of 10 years, and godfather to my children, passed away in a house fire. His death has been really difficult to come to terms with. We've been like brothers for the past 10 years. He was the one who got me into science and chemistry. We worked at the nuke plant together for several years. We consumed a lot of alcohol around bonfires over the years. I have a lot of good memories of him. My kids are devastated as he was the "cool uncle" so to speak. I haven't hurt this much since my father died. Hug your loved ones. Make every encounter worthwhile, as if it was your last, cause you never know when it will be the last. RIP Matt!
