Funeral

My cousin was given medication on Friday to reduce swelling in his brain so the physicians could better assess neural function. Within a few hours, his blood pressure spiked and he suffered one, and then a second massive strokes. The family took him off of life support late Friday evening. He did not even take a single breath on his own after being taken off the ventilator.

His funeral will be on Tuesday.

I appreciate all forms of comments on my writings. I find that I miss the sponteneity of coming to read them here when they were unmoderated. I believe I wrote less due to the moderation. I have decided to adopt limited moderation. Hopefully the prior problems with unfettered comments will not arise again. Please feel free to comment as you wish about the essays I write. I will maintain those comments that offer kind-hearted and gentle opinion... be it positive or negative. The opinions of your comments will, of course, need to have relevance to the post as well.
