All right, enough already

Last month my mother in law died after a two year battle with oral cancer (not a smoker, not a drinker) hellacious situation- surgeries, radiation, feeding tubes- ghastly.

Then we got hit with "superstorm"

This morning, my father-in law was taken to hospital in congestive heart failure- they see something on his lung in the xray and care sending him to CT. (also not a smoker or drinker)

Can we stop this shit please?

... it just seems that way. The drunks, drug addicts, perverts, and politicians all seem to live a long time. If there is a god, he's got a nasty sense of humor.
