What Rotten Luck

I am beginning to wonder if our neighborhood is cursed.

In October, our neighbor died.

In November, another neighbor died.

In December, yet another neighbor found out her cancer was back, and this time it's terminal.

And now, Will's scout leader has had a brain aneurysm.
Which is really sad for him.
He has been a scout leader for about 4 million years, I think.
And knows how to do it really well.
And loves it. Really loves it.
They said it is the only thing he talks clearly about, the boys and the court of honor he missed.

Will doesn't like scouts that much now.
And he doesn't have a shirt yet, because Dale doesn't remember where he put it.
And he doesn't have a book yet, because only Dale knew where the books were kept, and he forgot that too.

The new leaders are great, and they will figure it out.
But it won't be the same.
