But in the same week, a 13-year-old boy died from a sledding accident. His twin sister and his parents burying him in the January snow...

He was also active at home, planting fruit trees with his grandfather, tapping trees and syruping with his family, helping with the chickens, and exploring and taming the land with his dad. He was his dad’s favorite companion. Together they enjoyed hunting, fishing, storm chasing, and observing the stars and sky. Adam was always curious and ready to explore all the world had to offer. He never met a snake, turtle, or toad that he didn’t want to keep as a pet. He never met a Lego set he couldn’t conquer. He aspired to become either an engineer or a paleontologist and had his sights set on attending MIT. He loved his family and spending time with them. Adam enjoyed hearing old stories, learning from his grandparents and great-grandparents.

Nope, it's never fair.
