A Sad Day-UPDATED

ETA: I got the ok to link to the blog post from the author.  Read it you certainly won't regret it. Why she still hasn't gotten a book deal is beyond me.

I am sure that by now you have all heard about Carly Bragnalo. I was going to write a long post about life and everything but then I read a blog entry written by another member of the blogosphere and it was so powerful and moving and I cried. I knew I couldn't write anything close to as powerful as that entry was so I hit delete. I didn't link to it because I am not sure whether it would be ok with the blogger, (you know who you are, well I'm using my common sense in hoping you know who you are (yes that was a big hint.)) So if she is reading this and gives me the ok (either by email or comment) to link to it I will but also if she doesn't want me too I completely understand.

It is truly tragic for Taylor and both his and Carly's families. They had been together for 11 years and were both only 27. From what his team mates have said, she was a delightful person and wonderful to be around. To think that they had been engaged for two years and just a few months before their wedding for her to pass away is just heartbreaking. I hope that you will take a moment and think about all of the people you love and make sure that even in just a subtle way make sure they know you care. Taylor, both his and Carly's families and his Canuck teammates and their families will be in my thoughts.
