chronological order

People I actually interacted with -excluding elderly distant relatives I saw once every few years when they's visit my grandparents at christmas...

Great Grandmother, three grandparents (one cancer in old(er) age, two just old age), a fellow PhD student (cancer), FIL (heart/lungs/rough life, age), father of one of Thor's friends (cancer) beest's uncle (old age), beest (cancer) next door neighbor (cancer).

still in single digits. But let me tell you it's enough. Every day I am terrified one of my kids will be killed. I know, it's just a part of he grieving process, but it sucks.

I'm 48, for reference. (just) I keep thinking I'm 38 though :/
