I've been feeling kind of ick the past couple days. With the combined deaths of a family member, someone else that I admired very much, and the welcomed death of Kurt (I know that sounds horrible but when he's threatening to kill someone you love, it's a welcomed releif), I haven't been sleeping well. But, I kept thinking to myself, these deaths should not be keeping me up at night. Dave, the family member who died, was my uncles brother. I had never met him and therefore, I really don't have an attachment to the guy. My only regret is that I didn't get to meet him. I feel horrible for my family that I do know back East though because they all loved and cared for him very much. He was an alcahalic and ended up driving himself home one night and hit a family of three. He was on cumidin (sp?) and since it thins your blood so much as it is, by the time they realized he had internal bleeding, it was too late. He ended up slipping into a coma and dying. He left behind a wife and seven children and I can't help but have my heart go out to my family back east for having to deal with this. It should not make me stay up at night though.
