2008 Sucks!

Sister passed away in Jan, 52 years old, Father in law passed away in May, Totaled tow vehicle in Feb (not my fault) Father has cancer, wife hits deer in my 500 SEC.
When will this crap end. The only bright side is business is good.
cant wait for 2008 to end!!!

2006 was very rough for my, & 2007 wasn't much better, even though 2008 started of badly for me (more losses like yours, and I've had more health related problems this year than pretty much every year combined, sucks spending more money restoring myself than cars) but it is getting better, and I know that it is dark out now, but it will get better.

I had a two-year period where every time we went and visited family for Christmas, that person died within three months. I know the feeling. Things are better now, but they will be crappy again some day...

Sorry to hear about the bad fortunes, but I've always had a theory which roughly states that when it's raining crap, let it rain. Losses often come in groups like yours; so the sooner the storm is over, the sooner the sun will shine again. And it will. Hope it's soon for your family.

I personally think this whole decade blows - certainly not one of my better ones.
