No, I don't think the sadness will ever go away either. I've been bouncing between the warm nostalgia of watching old highlights and how talented of a player he was, then the flipside I've been crying as tributes have come out and seeing everyone using his and Matt's names in the past-tense, and the overarching tragedy of this past couple days. We'll reach a time where we can smile about him again and fondly remember what an icon he was in this city for a decade, but that pain of how it was ripped away and the poor families left devastated will always linger.
