Got an e-mail from my Opa today. He doesn't sound like he's doing okay. -sigh- Oma was the center that his universe turned on, and I don't think he's ever going to really recover from loosing her.

His e-mail also included the information that my Uncle Steve had been mmurdered, but no other details. Google is a wonderful tool. I just found the article at pressofatlanticcity.com.

With what I knew of my uncle, I was honestly excpecting his murder to involve drugs, or an argument with a dealer. I wasn't excpecting what I found. From the information at the end of the article, my uncle finally, finally managed to get onto the wagon and stay there. The last I heard of him, his store was failing because he wasn't really taking care of it. The article describes a man who was hardworking and stable.

Godsdamnit. He made it. He finally fucking managed to get his feet under him, and then someone decides that a knife will solve all their problems.

I'm getting very tired of loosing family.

Condolences.

Having just gone through the past few years of various family members crossing over, I understand your pain. I hope your Opa is doing better soon.

I am so very sorry for your loss. It sounds as though he was really making a difference and will be missed. May he rest in peace. Remember the good and allow the rest to fade into the far past where it belongs.

At least he went out on a high note. :/ *hugs for the Omi*
