Jeff,
I hope things are finally turning around for you. Loss is such a painful thing. Within a space of 18 months Leonidas lost both of his parents and his younger son. The parents had lived long and mostly healthy lives but the loss was still painful. The son was taken by melanoma at age 43 leaving a wife and 2 young children.
We must play the cards that fate deals us but there is much beauty in life as well. Good luck to you.jthyfqhubhon
Thank you. I'm much better now. It's hard sometimes, to not throw the cards in disgusted anger. Sorry for your losses sounds so trite, but what more is there to say.
