So on Superbowl Sunday my dad died of a heart attack. Took a nap and didn’t wake up.

Just found out one of my older cousins on my mom’s side just had a massive heart attack and they are taking him to a better hospital than the one nearby.

Seriously, What. The. Fuck?!

I’m so sorry about your dad, hon. I just lost my mom so I can relate.

My condolences on your loss, **Xan**. I think you’ll probably get more constructive comments if I move this to MPSIMS, though.
