So, of the past 2 holiday seasons, 2 people who meant something to me died. Last season, my cat (companion of 14 years) died, quiet a blow. This year, a waitress of 6 years died. Seems stupid, but it's a hit. Someone I have seen pretty much every week for the last 6 years is dead. I knew nothing about her except her name and job, but she was familiar to me. Now, I'll never see her again. This season sucks...
