This year sucks.

My mother-in-law, who has been battling leukemia for the last couple of years, passed away on Friday from COVID.

Today it's my Dad's turn.

My sister-in-law is in the hospital with it, and she is not doing well either.
She's been told she will be getting better, as there will be no more dying allowed this year.

My wife and I are beside ourselves, and our kids are being put through the ringer as well.
2020 can die in a fire.


Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.
This is known as "bad luck.”

Condolences, Johnny.

That's an awful lot to deal with in a short period of time. Words here probably don't matter much. Do what you can for your family.

Terribly sorry to hear this, I and my family are finally starting to get over the Covid, my deepest sympathies and condolences to you and your family on your loss.

I'm sorry JohnnyChemo. When I read the title my first thought was to post some amusing meme, that seems very trite now from what you described. Stay positive, as much as you can, and my thoughts are with you, your wife, and your children.

My condolences.

Living in a country that so far has weathered the pandemic pretty well, but still losing my job because of it, it suddenly becomes rather insignificant when compared to the loss of a life. My thoughts are with you and yours.


In all my years I've never seen the like. It has to be more than a hundred sea miles and he brings us up on his tail. That's seamanship, Mr. Pullings. My God, that's seamanship!

As much as 2020 has sucked, I fear next year will be much worse.

I certainly hope not, with vaccines on the way.

Just horrible. I really don't know what to say except that I wouldn't wish what you are going through even on my worst enemies.

My condolences JohnnyChemo.
I hope your sister in law will have a speedy recovery.
