gosh, so much has happend and i have had no interest in blogging because of it..

darrell's birthday was on 10/22 and we had a wonderful day. when my birthday rolled around everything went to hell. darrell's cousin, marty, passed away on the morning of 10/26.

marty had tourette's and a breathing disorder. in order to keep enough oxygen flowing into his heart he was supposed to wear an oxygen mask when he slept. marty hated it. so he decided to not wear the "fucking thing" and suffocated in his sleep.


darrell took it hard. he's been really depressed since and it's hard for him to think about. marty and his brother brandon were like the siblings he never had. they grew up together in south carolina and darrell thought it was his job to protect marty and brandon and make sure that they grew up to be great men.

marty was a wonderful person and touched every life he came in contact with. it's hard not to hope there's some kind of heaven when someone like him passes.
