7 years ago Kevin's best friend in gr. 2 died suddenly, I just found out that his brother will be in the same kindergarten class as Kiera. I still tear up thinking about him and I will probably be a blubbering idiot when I see them go to class together.
Gee, Patty, that's quite the coincidence.

Hm... a former work colleague of mine had two sons, both who had a genetic disorder and were several years apart in age. I think they each died around 11 or 12 - I cannot remember what it was called... They also had a daughter, but she was fine.
I just had a new idea for a story which I will write down then put away for future use
Hugs to you Patty:(
Just watched an interesting documentary on a young priest who was a former martial arts champion. He & his teammates were at a tournament in the Phillippines & were handing out candy to children in a very poor neighbourhood when everything changed. He went back home to the US & decided to become a priest so he could help others. In addition to the martial arts, he has a talent for cooking & started cooking for his parishioners. He is now travelling & trying to encourage people to have a "mini Thanksgiving" every day of the year & spend more time with family.
Such a nice story, when all you ever hear about are the miserable things in the world. :)
August 1st my dad's 86th birthday. Talk about grumpy old men.
My mother's friend's mother just passed away
Happy Birthday to your dad!! You are very lucky to have him (grumpy or not...); my dad passed away at 66 - so hug your daddy! My dad would have been 90 this year...Quote:

Her 25yr old cousin & his friends went away for the long weekend. Apparently, they got into an argument with some other fellows at a bar (don't have any details what all happened). The matter was dropped, they were on their way back to their cabin, when they got jumped. My friend's cousin was beaten so badly, that he's on life support, brain dead, they're just waiting for his Mom to come to the hospital. :(
What on earth could be *that* important that you would kill someone over it? :frown:
I`ve got so many different emotions running through me now. Not sure whether to be mad or shocked or sad or everything in between.
Oh, Andit - that is so very sad, just a horrible thing to have happened...
gryphon, sorry about your family friend passing away...
Argh! These sensless acts get my blood boiling. There is no reason for this. My thoughts are with the family.Quote:
