As if the past decade hadn't been enough...

After so many horrible things happening in my family, you'd think we'd finally be free of things going wrong. The family members living under the poverty level and some who have been evicted from their home in the past, there was Kelly's rape and murder at age 16, Liz's rape, Tina's heart attack and near death at age 17, my Aunt's HIV, Amanda's rare lung disease and double lung transplant at age 2... and now we find out within the past 2 months her 2 year old brother Trevor has the same rare disease, though it's progressing slower. And, this week we find out my cousin David (Kelly's brother) has been diagnosed with Lymphnoma... cancer. Luckily his recovery rate is high...

I am fairly certain I am missing something in that list, but my brain is focused on the current that I cannot figure out what it is. The moment we feel that everything is okay, something else shows up.
