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.

I saw that happen, it all play out, not like a dream, but as if that was the future. To me it’s ####ed that it didn’t. Like we’re in the wrong/darkest time line.

The world’s a messed up place, and today just shows that.

2 kids riding bicycles, not unlike any other day during their childhood.

The world is an unfair ####ty place.
