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.

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.
