The death of James Kim

While there are many tragic deaths every day, I am not the only person who was hit hard by news of the recovery of James Kim's body today in Colorado, after a 2-day search, following the rescue of his wife and two young daughters on Monday. This time of year it's especially difficult to contemplate a family's tragic loss. (The Kim family was traveling in the mountains, got lost, and spent 9 days in their car before being discovered; James had left the family to try and find help.) I know I'm not the only one who is hugging my loved ones a little tighter and trying to overlook some of the minor difficulties of life to appreciate our safety and togetherness.
