long ago (also in his 40's).

in about the same span he's lost his mother, father, brother, half brother (well, he wasn't raised w/ him but they ain't live too far away), some aunts, a couple friends. and this last year, an ex, his rehab counselor and a couple cats he grew up with.

he's like, "D, death is just all around me, man".

it's really messing with him, especially since he's trying to get his life together, and do something positive for his girls and his son.

it ain't a lot of wisdom i can provide him. even Job would be like, dayum. i pray with him and for him and try to just let him talk it out when things get bleak.


i'm very sorry for your losses. (and i wasn't trying to one up you w/ my cuz's experiences -- i can't fathom the level of loss either of you have experienced). i'll be praying for you and your fam, too, though.

and i need to call my cuz.




peace & blessings,

x.
