April 18 is the anniversary of my dad's death (suicide), so it's a crappy time of year for me.
I wonder if it has something to do with the start of spring. I always feel off this time of year, and it always sneaks up on me because I feel like I should be happier that winter is over.

ETA: So it wasn't an "attack" (THAT WE KNOW OF), but still pretty shitty.

Big hugs. We have a family suicide right around this time as well. (hug) (hug2)
My birthday is on the 19th. My cousin's ongoing (morbid, probably offensive) joke is that it's all my fault. We have a special relationship?
My youngest was born on 4/19. In the days before his birth, I would check every day to see what awful tragic event he would share his b-day with if he was born that day. I was kind of hoping to make it to Earth Day on the 22nd.
The 1906 San Francisco earthquake was on 4/18. Not sure if that's been mentioned yet...
