As a baby boomer a lot of us got married in the late 60's, even more in the 70's. Some, like me, more than once unfortunately. I recall going to weddings sometimes twice in one month back then.

Then in the 80's and continuing to present the weddings slowed and the funerals began. Grandparents, parents, aunts, uncles. More funerals then weddings.

Last Tuesday I learned the son of my cousin passed away at 31. He had has health issues all his life. I was planning on attending his funeral in Maryland this past Friday. On Wednesday I learned the son of a friend was killed in a car accident. 19 years old. No alcohol or drug use. So I cancelled going to Maryland went to a 19 year olds' funeral yesterday.

I'm looking forward to the wedding cycle starting again, when family and friends can get together for fun times.

Sorry for the rant and venting here.
 
I'm very sorry for their loss. It is very difficult losing a child under any circumstance. They will be in my prayers and thoughts.


This is what a couple of our friends and community is dealing with right now. It's still hard to believe Ethan done this. His mom died app. three years ago while working at Laughlin Hospital.. So he already knew the pain of losing a parent.

Sgt. Self, one of the Greeneville Police Department's dispatch sergeants, was found shot to death at his Love Street home about 7:35 p.m. Wednesday after he failed to report for work at 7 p.m. as scheduled.

On Thursday evening, Sheriff's Detective Sgt. Mike Fincher charged Self's son, Ethan Alexander Self, 18, with first-degree murder in connection with the officer's death.

An arrest warrant filed in the case alleged that Ethan Self shot his father to death with a handgun as his father slept on Wednesday, March 24.

On Friday morning, Ethan Self appeared for arraignment in Greene County General Sessions Court.

During the brief court appearance, General Sessions Judge Kenneth Bailey Jr. set April 14 as the date for a preliminary hearing for Ethan Self, who was then returned to custody at the Greene County Detention Center in lieu of a $500,000 bond.

Weddings and Funerals - it is getting that is the only time I get to see relatives.
 
I feel just terrible for all of those families and friends. If I have to hear, "I wish it were under better circumstances...." I'll truly want to scream. :(
