I often think about how the existence of my daughter is the result of hundreds of thousands (perhaps millions) of little decisions, that if any of them are different, means she isn't in my life. Maybe I have a kid still. A different kid. But not her. Life's miracles are the culmination of these moments. But today is a reminder that so are life's tragedies.
There is an alternative timeline where Johnny re-signs with the Flames, breaks all the records, and becomes the greatest Flame. And he and Sean grow into the aging vets on the team, mentoring the next generation.
Ultimately the decision that cost Johnny and Matty their lives was made by the murderer who got behind the wheel drunk. But I just can't get it out of my head that it wasn't supposed to be like this. None of it.

Brother I could dwell on this type of thought all night. And I have ever since my son died.
Maybe #### just happens and life is a bitch. Maybe this and maybe that. Maybe we should all just go #### ourselves.
All we can do is accept what did happen instead of what didn't. Maybe if those same million things that happened that resulted in us losing Johnny, would also mean he doesn't leave behind the beautiful kids that he does. We can at least be happy that that beautiful family exists, as tragic as it is that they exist without a father
