We buried my sister at the age of 41 leaving 2 young kids; we buried my uncle a few months ago, and my dad yesterday. My other uncle is at Mayo. <BR/><BR/>Yesterday my SIL's mother went in with what she thought was bronchitis, and found out she has stage IV lung cancer.<BR/><BR/>Sometimes the anger just needs to be channeled at someone, and sometimes that someone is god.
