It's been a couple of days, but I've finally been able to put enough time aside to check in on this forum.
A couple of days ago, my mother got a call from my aunt in Florida, saying that my uncle had committed suicide. So, we're down here with our relatives, comforting them as best we can. My cousin in particular is taking it quite hard, because he was arguing with my uncle mere seconds before he killed himself. Please keep me and my family in your thoughts and prayers.
