An unforgetable Christmas
And for all the wrong reasons.
:eyes:

Our closest friend is dying with cancer.
We've seen it coming for a few months, but it looks like a matter of hours now.
Obviously, this is the worst time of year for him to check out.
For his family and friends, of course.

Then today we learned that another close friend's son-in-law committed suicide yesterday.

Leaves behind a wife and 4 year old daughter they adopted from Russia.

Sometimes life just sux.
Merry Christmas.

Sorry for the downer, but I had to vent.

1. ...all the wrong reasons, indeed.
I'm sorry for the all the sorrows in the lives of those you care about, and the impact it has on your life.

:hug:

I hope you're able to support and help heal each other.

2. So sorry to hear this trof and venting, regardless...
the season is allowed.
I hope those in your life somehow find some peace through all this adversity.

3. Oh, my dear trof...
I am so sorry to hear all this awful news...

Vent all you want!

I'd be wanting to do that too...

Safe passage to both of your dear friends...

My deepest condolences to you, and to everyone who knew and loved these two...

:hug:

5. I am sorry, Trof- sometimes life simply does not seem fair -
and it always seems more poignant at this time of year. :hug:
