This isn't going to be much of a diary. But I just woke up to learn that the brother of one of the men I admire most, died last night in a car accident.
Joel Burns is a Forth Worth City Councilman who shot to national prominence after this video:
Joel attended the President's conference on Bullying Prevention two days ago.

Three hours ago he wrote this via twitter:
I've never wanted so much to wake up & have yesterday just be a dream.
Just heartbreaking. Joel and his family have gone through so much and now this and now to lose their brother and son, Cody... just to sad for words.
Cody was just 27.
I literally cried when I first read the news on facebook.
RIP Cody Burns
My thoughts are with you Joel and family.

Got Cody's saddle & boots; Mother, Daddy & Robin picked his burial clothes as Miles & I visited accident site. Hardest drive of my life.
