No this isn't a thread about a funny movie, this is a thread about the dude up there on the right ^ .
That's me and my brother Matt, we've been skiing together since I was 9 and he was 11. We had an older brother too but he was 5 years older and didn't enjoy the same things as us. Matt and I had always been closer and often hung out with the same friends, and of course always skied together. This made it sooo much easier when our older brother passed away in a car accident in 01, we would talk and get away skiing together and just basically hold each other together emotionally.
Well this weekend my family was brought crumbling down when my brother Matt was found dead in his room on friday morning. A pointless and stupid drug related mistake took my brother's last breaths as he sat one floor above my dad's head on thursday night. My weekend has been like a horrible dream that I desperately want to wake up from, holding family and friends just trying to make sense of this tragedy.
This is my first thread here is NSG, and it really doesn't have a point, it's more of a vent for me. I just wanted to do something in any way I could to remember my brother and best skiing partner.
I'm not asking for RIPs or Vibes, maybe just read this and post up a funny story of skiing with your family or whoever it is you share the love of our sport with.
I know it sounds corny but you could also read this and find it in yourself to maybe go tell your brother or sister or mom or dad or anyone you care about that you love them and give them a big hug, cause you never know this may be your last chance and you may end up weeping and hugging their friends tomorrow.
