Fifteen years ago, I got an instant message from my best friend from childhood. We were home from college. He asked me, "How old is Bobby?" Confused, I responded, "He's a little older than me... he's your age...23."

"I think he was in an accident last night."
My friend sent me a link to a news story. I clicked it. There was Bobby's Subaru. It was completely destroyed.
Bobby was like the mayor of the town I grew up in, just north of Pittsburgh. His family owned a Chinese restaurant that we used to hang out at all the time. When it closed for the day, Bobby would open it up for us to hang out at. We had some epic beer pong matches there.
