Alex's dad died. He died December 4th. Travis, my dad, Tami, and I went to the funeral and it was nice. A little different from others that I have been to, but it was nice. Alex is having a hard time and I wish things were easier for him. He had a long week of funeral preparations as well as studying for finals. It is too bad the rest of the world can't stop for family tragedies. Cortney will make sure he is fine. She is good that way.
