i know they say deaths come in threes

but this is ridiculous. yesterday was an awful day for people we care about. a good friend's father passed away, another good friend's sweet, sweet dog was put to sleep, and dave's aunt succumbed to her illnesses. i'm always pathetically inarticulate when it comes to things like this, so i won't muck up these tragic events with stiff, hollow sounding words. i just want to say that the pain that those who have lost are suffering is something i can't really relate to, but my heart hurts for them. i'm so incredibly sorry for their losses.

now go kiss/hug/call someone you love. life is much too short...
