A family friend who you respect and like throws a party for an ailing relative, he's not sure if she'll make it to Christmas so he dresses up as Santa Claus and the family has an impromptu Chrsitmas Day celebration. He is bright, funny and generous.
Two weeks later he is walking home from work and, almost like a pause on the way, he throws himself off a bridge that sits over a dual carriageway during rush hour traffic. His body is identified by the cards in the wallet he didn't take out of his pocket. He leaves no explanation.
You think you have all the answers, that good or bad, life plods forward with few surprises. Then something explodes in the air, devastating the people you love the most, and you feel like you've been punched in the face.
