Last year an entire imb of my family tree died. In January, my aunt Kathy and cousin Kim and Kims fiance were murdered by the sick hayseed motherfucker she married. My remaining cousin died in December of the same year of a heroin OD. The holidays are just about here and I dont know how well Im gonna deal with it, I doubt it will be good. I miss them and although the pain isnt as strong and insistant as it was, its still there.

Since today is All Hallows Eve, or Samhain, whichever you ascribe to, today Ill celebrate their lives, not their deaths. For all of you who have lost loved ones, I am sorry for your loss and hope you find ease for your pain.

Happy Halloween, Happy Samhain.
