Aching Heart
I’m struggling so badly right now with wanting to just go into my kitchen and binge. My heart is hurting and I find myself wanting to turn to food to comfort. I found out a couple of hours ago that my brother-in-law was killed in a single car traffic accident today due to icy road conditions. 
I’m still kind of shock realizing I’ll never see him again or hear his goofy infectious laugh. My heart is breaking knowing that my sister has lost her husband and that their children have lost their father. He was a good man and treated his family so well. He took such amazing care of my sister after she was diagnosed with MS and stood right by her side through all her struggles with it.
Sometimes.life.just.is.not.fair! 
Rest in peace, Alfred!
