I'm tired of wakes and funerals, again.

Azalea the former Shadowmaiden now lost her Dad to cancer. They only found out recently after they got tests (after her brother died), and he was terminal by then, especially because those harmless-looking nodes on his face never really bothered to announce themselves as painful malignant lumps.

A classmate of mine in high school lost her son, the first nephew/grandson on both her and her husband's families. He wasn't even 5 months a month old.

Most people don't know this but my other literary hero was Alejandro Roces Jr. Sadly, his death was what jarred me to return to the young, chipper, impressionable writer I was almost 20 years ago.
