I WANT TO tell a short story here,... 
On Jan 07 2007, my fiancee died. I was there. then on the 12th of the same month my mother died. I've lost 4 good friends since then, and last September my father passed away. I arranged the funerals, all except my fiancee's.  
At the last one, my father's, which was a wake,  a fellow I've known for many years came up to me and said. Katie,... you're just the kiss of death to your friends and family. 
My eyes opened widely and I stared at him and smiled, saying, "Hey, you're my new best friend!"
