Joel currently is on a flight back to Wisconsin for his best friend's dad's funeral (were those proper use of apostrophes? anyway....) Jesse called on Friday and said, "my dad just died." I was seriously stunned. Apparently, he had a massive heart attack when he was home alone. Jesse's mom found him when she got home and tried to do CPR. It was far too late. I tried to mumble and fumble out the words that would express my absolute devastation for him -- another battle that I lost. Anyway, the funeral is on Monday -- so Joel flew out and will be home on Tuesday. Quick trip, but he needs to be there.
This is on top of 2 other deaths this week (hence the title). I didn't actually KNOW either of those women, however, only knew their family...but still....death. It's such a horrible time of year to lose someone. I can't imagine ever losing my parents, but then to lose them during the holidays, it's almost too much for me to swallow.
So anyway, time moves on for those who survive. Jesse and Amy are pregnant. He/She is the first grandchild.

A life light expires right as one is soon to be lit.
