R.I.P. Billy Mays

[Friday The 13th]

I tend to care when someone dies, regardless of who they are, though there's a few people I can think of that I just wouldn't care about at all. I guess I'm overly sensitive, but at the same time, it's the family I'm thinking about. In Billy Mays' case, his wife found him, I can't imagine finding my husband dead, those images would be stuck in my mind for a very long time. He had apparently a 24 year old son and a 3 year old daughter, that's yet another kid who's going to grow up without a father, it's that kind of stuff that makes me sad. Same thing for MJ, he was above all a father, look at all the nasty stuff some people have been writing about him, I feel bad for the kids, I'm hoping they're not allowed on the net without supervision.

I don't think it's the deaths themselves that bother me, it's thinking about the people left behind.

I agree. No matter who you are death is still a saddening thing.
