That's an emotional entry... When people die old it's ok. Life must come to an end eventually (though we're never truly ready to see a loved one die), but when something tragic happens like 9/11 or people die out of sequence-son before mother and other things like that, that's just completely wrong and those are the events that make us question the existence of a God.

Well that entry really killed my mood, but yes the parade yesterday was a real blast... as was the after party

not to worry, I get those funks too.

For me death doesn't affect me when large groups of people or relatives are involved. Oddly enough it's when friends die that I'm useless for a week at least.
