This week has me realizing how fragile we are. We recently got word that our friend Protik Mia has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Pro's our age and has two young kids and a happy marriage with another friend of ours, Becky. If you know Pro, and want to follow along and wish him well...he's keeping a blog of his family adventures, as well as his diagnosis and fight at: pro's blog.
Less than a week after hearing this crappy news, we also received a note that another friend of ours, Mike Vitti - the photographer at our wedding - had a sudden heart attack and couldn't be revived. WTF! His NY Times obituary is at: vitti obituary.
Pro/Becky and Mike are all friends from ultimate frisbee...not surprising since so many of our friends came through years of playing the sport. As a small tribute to Mike's life, the following is a picture he took of me and a friend Alex Kaplan "skying" for a disc in Prospect Park years ago. Rest in Peace, Mike!
