Sorry for all the losses everyone has gone through.

I've been through a string of family deaths the last ten years.

My uncle died from cirrhosis of the liver in 2004. My cousin died from HIV/AIDS complications in 2006 at the age of 38 (Have no idea if her boyfriend knew he had HIV nor do I know if he's alive.) My grandfather died from diabetes in 2009. Another uncle died a few days after Thanksgiving over a year ago from a heart attack which might been brought on by the fact he had issues with his weight.
