The Evans Curse

cornerofmadnessMost of my dad's side of the family has considered us cursed (and given the gypsy background of the family...) Consider if you will
A. grandfather died young of a massive heart attack
B. My dad is apparently only a carrier but his brother sustained a severe injury to his neck in his 30's that's left him unable to work for the rest of his life and developed a rare form of hypothyriodism
C. I was injured just as I was about to branch out into my own medical practice ending my career then the diabetes and other injuries/diseases
D. my brother was just about to embark on his wedding and his new career as a pilot then the twin towers were hit (I had to fly about 5 days after that) which ended up career ending as we still don't fly like we once did and he had to retrain for a new career (I can't blame his chron's on the Evans curse since it's the other side of the family that has it)
last night mom called to tell me my brother's cat had to be put to sleep for feline AIDS. This morning she called me to tell me one of my Evans cousin's has hepatitis C, an incurable and often fatal viral infection. They think he contracted it as a child since he was often very sickly requiring multiple blood transfusions and that it's been dormant ever since. They're trying to get it back into dormancy (or else since it'll go to liver transplant and/or death) with a drug cocktail. I have to wonder if he passed it to his wife as well. they have several young children.
