I can not WAIT for this POS year to be over

And I hope to fkn hell 2009 is an improvement. This year has been one of the worst, very hard on just about everyone in my family. Except for my idiot brother.

My sister's step-son JP just died of a massive stroke. I think he was in his late 30's. He left 2 little girls and a wife.

My BIL Larry was an only child. His father left him and his mother and then joined the service, was in WWII and came back messed up. He was found floating in a ravine, then his mother commited suicide. My BIL was I think 12 at the time and saw his mother right after, then went to live with his grandparents. Larry doesn't know of any aunts or uncles, just has my sister, his 2 kids from a previous marriage, JP and Debbie, and my neice Noel.

My sister is so overwrought that she doesn't want to speak with our mom because she doesn't want mom to hear her crying, so she calls every so often to talk to our step-father Chuck and let him know what's happening. She doen't want to talk with me right now either. I think right now she is doing all she can to hold it together. It's been a hard few years for her and I think this is one thing too much and it's unbearable. I can understand that.

I'll post more later on.
