Thinking about you and yours Scott. Keep your chin up, the only way to get through it is to keep getting out of bed every morning. The hurt will pass.

I'm 36 and have lost the majority of my family and several friends in the last 25 years. About one person every year and a half. I know how you feel. Rationalize however you need to. I gave up on faith, reasoning and rationalization. To me now it's all the chance, circumstance and the natural cycle of life and I've become numb to it.

You know how to get a hold of me if you want/need to chat. If I don't answer, I'll call back asap.
