suddenly lost

It's hard to introduce news like this, but my cousin committed suicide this week.  I miss him, and I wish we had the opportunity to talk.  We never did.  It's been years, and the sea separates us even now.  I remember playing in the snow... My cousin, his brother, my brother and me. We were the fabulous four.  That winter in Croatia was easily the most fun I had as a child.  I miss you Zdravko.

  11. Hi everyone.... I can't thank you all enough for the kindness, support, and words of comfort. It really means alot - and is most appreciated. It's a strange sort of life we humans have; the only thing we can do is the best we can do, and that's different for everyone I guess. :)
    Thanks again for your support during this difficult time. Smiling more as we speak! xo K
