This week my view of life has been changed. This week my cousin died. Out of respect for my Aunt and Uncle I will not disclose the details of his death, however, it was a tragic and unnecessary death.

I have to say up to this point I have been pretty lucky when it comes to family. I haven’t really experienced a loss on that level.
