Alex’s sister died today.. or yesterday. She died of what sounds a bit like hemoragic fever, or at least massive hemoraging. This is his actual sister, 13, same mother, same father. He is shocked and sad, which I can understand. She is the only full sibling he has.. although, he hasn’t lived with her for years, and I’m not sure how often he even saw her. The funeral is Thursday because no one is going to interfere with the holidays.
