You can mess up, work your ass off, do everything you need to do to overcome mistakes be at the finish line get over it and whoosh, it gets taken away from you by a higher authority. The only way you get over something like this is to pick yourself up, work at getting better and continue on. Boy Charles Schultz had it right with Lucy pulling the ball out from Charlie Brown.....sometimes things are out of your control and there is nothing you can do about it but go on to the next day. No amount of pouting, grumbling will change the outcome. And when you look at a situation like Kyle Costigan went through with his mother, this isn't that big a deal......
