I remember me and the kids were swimming at the sandbar when we saw right across the lake the sheriff boat seemingly pulling over every boat. We thought that was mighty strange. Well then the chopper showed up and we knew something was wrong. We were having a fun time in the sun and water while a young guy was drowning and we had no clue...

I know exactly what you are saying.

The day my brother died, I was devastated, and, one of the worst things was that the world was continuing to spin, just like nothing had happened. People went to work, had lunch out, purchased new houses... didn't they know my brother just died?

They had no clue. It's true.
