God, 2009 was the worst year ever for like everyone I talk to. It was just an out and out shit of a year, I reckon. Cursed probably, by evil things. I hope 2010 IS a lot better (for you especially ♥ You should NOT have had to deal with all that), because god knows it'd take a lot to be worse.

Not linked, just as though everyone that was sick was finally called away at the same time. Most of them were a long time comming, but there were a few that came as a surprise. They say deaths come in threes around here, but, yeah. Not this year. It was a weird, weird year.

And oh, I can't believe I didn't say anything earlier! I'm so sorry about your auntie, love.
