Because misery loves company I just wanted to know if anyone else is having a really BAD year? I put my cat down today. He was 16 with kidney failure I did everything I could for him as with my 16 year old dog back in May. But the worst part of the year has been that my younger sister (55) found out she had cancer at the end of August. She went back to the hospital one more time before they sent her home on hospice. That was the Thursday before Labor Day weekend. She died the Tuesday after Labor Day. She found out she had cancer and basically was dead in less than two weeks. It was pancreatic cancer. She never smoked or drank. She's the first to die in my immediate family. My dad will be 90 in December with my mother turning 86 in January. We thought we were pretty lucky with everybody still well. All 15 nieces and nephews are doing well and their kids. Putting down my cat today just brought up this deep well of grief that I'm feeling! Went to see Secretariat to take my mind off the above. Good movie but cried through it anyway. Nobody dies in it but that didn't matter.
