Ohhh yes.
A continent away, an ocean between us...
Been There.
Death so often comes in threes. Surely, someone could prove this isn't so. Statistically.
Anecdotally, though, everyone I know will lose two more people within about a year of losing one person. So it seems.
My two sisters were gone within half a year of each other. Now one more year has passed. Dad is next in line but he has more staying power than anyone I know. He made it to his 89th birthday and still he goes on... which has me worried for my mom... she cannot be next. No. No. No.
More than a year has passed, so let us lay to rest this idea that we must lose a third loved one to complete the demise of Lori + Kelly (two months after Lori's burial, Kelly was diagnosed with cancer; six months later she was dead) - DO NOT TAKE #3, whoever #3 may be -
Let us cheat the grim reaper, let us hold onto our loved ones.
