[Haunted]

I would kick love's ass.

Seriously, I don't believe in the nonsense (romantic hoity toity, personally. Well for me, anyway....don't start)

Think that your cousin died because his health was poor. It wasn't his fault. No woman would have made it any different. Hopefully he did have love from his family.

My friend Wes came to me crying one day. This cousin of his had a loaded pistol at the top of his closet. When said cousin was trying to dislodge a box (having forgotten about the gun), the pistol fell to the floor, fired, and shot my friend's cousin in the head.

My friend didn't know his cousin too well, but it tore him up inside about the loss of life due to one mistake. So life is like that. Death is indiscriminate.

Despite your wishes for no "sympathy," I would like to give my condolensces to you and your family.
