(no subject)

My cousin passed away on Wednesday night. We were expecting it, but it doesn't make things any easier. Davy-boy seems to be taking it very hard. We all grew up together, but he and John were very close. The hardest part is dealing with the family that lives and suffers. I am already making peace with his passing, but watching others grieve makes my heart ache.

Thanks to everyone who has sent me sweet and supportive messages. Great big *hugs* to you all.
