So since July, we have lost three family members, my great-grandfather, my great-grandmother, and my grandfather, who passed yesterday. It is tough to swallow that we have felt nothing but loss for the past year and two weeks. Seems that the past several holidays have had a major pall thrown over them. Halloween last year, we were still trying to come to terms with my brother's unexpected death. And now this year, my grandfather's. Fucking sucks.
