Last Christmas was kind of bittersweet. We were lucky to have had my mother alive for one more Christmas (which is longer than what they had originally suggested), but we all knew that there wasn't much time left. She made it until the 19th of January.

On Tuesday night, my ex-girlfriend's brother was killed in a car accident. Another brother was driving the car, he swerved to miss a deer, and hit a tree. The younger brother was ejected from the car and died at the scene.
