Brendan,

We don't know each other but I read about your situation...I'm glad that you are back on the court..I'm sure the game is better with you there as well...

Stay strong and keep your faith stronger...

Condolences

From BBall_Junkie: "but it felt so good to get out there and have people yell at me, run the court with some old buddies and run some air through my lungs"

My condolences.

A while back someone posted a thread asking why we officiate. I think that BBall_Junkie's quote (above) says a lot about why we do this.

I'm glad you are back man. I'm someone who knows you and has officiated with you. It hurts me to know what you are going through. If you need me for absolutely anything you know how to get in touch with me and I hope to see you soon in Vegas or Houston.

Take care.

Glad you got back out there Junkie. So sorry to hear about your loss...but as much as we gripe at each other as officials, we are a family. A little bit of a weird family, but still a family. With family is where you need to be now. If you are ever in the Portland, OR or SW Washington area, let me know - I will do anything to help you out.

I know what you mean about getting out on the floor. There is something very therapeutic about what we do. Doubly so in your case as it would seem to signal the beginning of moving on with your life.
