Our family had some bad news today.

My cousin on my mother's side of the family was brutally beaten to death this morning. I'm not going to go into details, but this just another senseless death. This has been a hard year on the whole family. My uncle's wife (my mother's brother) passed away in December and after my uncle died in April, his wife ( my mother's sister) passed away a couple of weeks ago.

This year has been unreal for all people with a mind and a heart.. When the personal tragedies come on top of a sense that the world is falling to new lows its difficult to stay focused on moving forward... but we do, we will.. and this too shall pass.

My thoughts to you....
