The guy that I was able to meet was an elderly man, passed away in the middle of typing out a post, because his heart gave out. What hit me hard with that was that he was scheduled to see one of the cardiologists I work for in just a few days-- had he made it that long, he'd probably be here with us today.
The guy I didn't get to meet was one of the students murdered at Virginia Tech. I still get goosebumps when I think of that day. I'm also very proud to wear a "Livestrong"-like bracelet that his family had made, every day, in memory of him. Even had it on at my wedding.
