I am surrounded by death

In the past week, my betta fish Xander died (yes, Stay-C, named after Xander from Buffy), my high school calculus teacher died, and my uncle got diagnosed with probbly terminal pancreatic cancer. It does not seem to be a safe time to be someone that knows me. On the flip side, my cousin (the one with the horse habit) just gave birth to a boy named Jared, so if anyone I had mentioned that to was wondering how far along she was in her pregnancy, apparently she was very far along indeed.
