Far East Cynic

When it rains…..

It pours.

My next to youngest sister was found dead in her apartment yesterday. Accordingly, I will be returning to the United States to assist my family in all arrangements and help my older sister get some things resolved. Blogging may be light.

Damn.

  7. Skippy,

    I’m sorry to hear about your loss. Please email me at the address given for this comment if there’s any way I can help you or your family.

  9. Sir,

    My sympathy on the loss to you and your family. It is not hard to pray for those without a name in as much as I do this every day. I shall include you and your sister in my prayers.

    Stay with God.

  23. Shipmate,

    I’ll light a candle for you and your sister, and all of your family. We’re all family here, distant as we may be from eachother. If there is anything I can do, just email me. Seriously.

    Respects,

  27. I have disagreed with you on alot of things but you are No.1 on my prayer list.

  28. Dear Skippy-san,

    I am terribly sorry for you and your family’s loss and will certainly keep you in my prayers.

  32. Thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Best of luck on a successful travel plan.

  34. Damn, Skippy… I am so sorry to hear this. I’ve never dealt with the death of a sibling, so I can only imagine how hard this is for you and your family.
    You are in my thoughts and prayers.

  40. I am deeply sorry about your loss. My heart goes out to you and your family. I comment a lot on Lex’s blog but I am a frequent lurker on yours as well. I hope you have a safe trip and that comfort reaches to the deepest depths of your heart during this difficult time!

  41. Sir, I send my most earnest sincere condolences, and hereby offer any practical help of which I might be capable, which honestly ain’t very much, but you have my email addy.

  43. Hey, Skippy, I’m sorry to hear of your loss. I add my offer of any practical aid to those already here.

    I am unsure if your sister was a Christian, so I hope I do not offend if I pray that she will Rest In Peace and Rise In Glory.

  53. Skippy,

    This was my first visit to your site, but before diving deeper into the content I would like to offer my condolences as well. It’s almost eerie how the care of complete strangers can ease a trying time.

  54. Skippy-
    I’m a bit of a lurker usually over from Chapomatic, and Lex, but I am so sorry to hear about your sister. I do hope that all of the people who clearly care for you and their outpouring of sympathy is somehow comforting in a time you likely can’t be comforted. Be strong, stay safe, and God bless you and your family. There just are no words…
    -Tu

  63. Sir,

    I know, it sucks to have to change course so quickly due to things like this. I had to do it during A school. I am very sorry for your loss.

    I’m amazed at how quick your blog loaded on my phone ..
    I’m not even using WIFI, just 3G .. Anyways, excellent site!
