Another Week, Another Death

This Month the Wheel of Fortune seems to have disconnected from its
spindle and is crushing my family members. Last week my cat was
euthanized, suffering from carcinoma; today I learned that a cousin died
suddenly on his birthday -- literally too much partying, just like
William Shakespeare. He was 38.

I'm still processing this and wondering what I should do. I didn't ever
see him apart from family events. Sending a card seems the minimum but
I'll do that first.
