38. I apologize for scolding DUers about it.

I shouldn't have posted ... I am really emotionally drained. I've lost my mom to leukemia ... it took 3 month from diagnosis to her horrific death on August 22nd. ... and now a lot of family and friends lost everything in that Valley fire.

Sometimes, it is just very hard to cope ...

Again, I am sorry for scolding anyone .... I know that DU cares!
