This is not a financial post. I don't do many personal posts, but just felt like writing today.
December is a rough month in the Disneysteve household. My brother, my father and my wife's father all died in December. Today is my brother's birthday and the anniversary (on the Jewish calendar) of both our father's deaths.
My brother was 28 when he died in 1987 of a drug overdose. We weren't all that close, especially in the 6 years before his death, due to his drug use. But I still am sad about his death and about it's effect on my mom and the family.
My dad died suddenly of a heart attack in 1992, 5 months after our wedding.
My father-in-law died of lung cancer in 1993. He had been sick for a while. In fact, we really expected to lose him before my father.
We are grateful that both of them were alive for our wedding but we're sad that neither lived to know our daughter. They both loved kids and would have been great with her.
So that's where my head is today.
Sad anniversaries
