busy finishing up another semester of grad school. Posted some work - mostly studies and different sorts of things. things have been hectic for me. grandparents are visiting from chicago and its always good to see them. My grandmother has been slowly declining in health it seems. Ever since my aunt has passed things have been declining. It's definitely a sad thing to watch as my grandmother becomes slower, less active, and loses her mind one day at a time.

For the past few years the only thing that seems to be constant is bad luck and death around me. I've watched as more and more of my family have stepped into darkness. The hardest was seeing Shaun Choe take his last breath 2 days before the new year. Everything has changed, and nothing will ever be the same. The BEST man, friend, and brother I have ever met.

This is probably the first journal where I've talked about Shaun's passing. It is still and always will be one of those touchy subjects...
