A guy died in my arms today

[housepicks]

Was installing some registers in the lobby.

Making small talk with tommy the painter.

I realized tommy stopped talkin back.

Turned are around and tommy is sitting on a bucket.

I say.

You alright tommy

Tommy falls to the floor face first.

I yell and run over.

Flooring boss comes outta nowhere and we flip him over.

Tommy takes a look at me..his eyes go..and he died.

 

[IAG]

WTF? I'm sorry buddy...that's tough How old was Tommy? What caused his presumably early demise?

 

[housepicks]

Idk..48 maybe 52. Heart attAck paramedics said.

 

[IAG]

Damn.
Did you know him well? Did he have a family?



Am I the only one with Cutting Crew in my head?

 

[housepicks]

Son was getting married...daughter is pregnant.

 

[bacon]

Damn dude, I'm so sorry that happened.

 

[housepicks]

Not real well..decent enough guy though.

 

[housepicks]

Yeah...me too

I've got some images engrained in my brain id rather not have

 

[IAG]

I have never seen anyone die except mom, and that was expected. Must have been very surreal.

 

[bacon]

Listening to this and thinking of both of you

 

[FairWarning]

Wow, sorry to hear.

 

[housepicks]

Yeah you can add that song to the list of ones I can't enjoy anymore for this reason or that.
One last breath by creed goes on the list as well.
