None of My Relatives Are Dead
Aug. 12th, 2011 01:53 pmMy father just called me. An old family friend, Aunt Dar, just went into the hospital. She's in her late seventies and has lung cancer. She probably won't leave alive.
I just realized that both my grandparents on my dad's side are still alive. My grandfather on my mother's side is dead - but I never met the guy.
I'm twenty-five years old. Not a single person I know to whom I am related has died in my entire life.
Why?
