Sad way to end the year

Break out the lamp shades, silly hats and those huge glasses in the shape of 2009.
That’s 364 down, one to go. Yes, it’s the final day of 2008.
And unfortunately, the year is going out in the same fashion it rang in so many days this year in Delaware County.
Violently.
Police in Upper Darby say a man showed up at the home of his girlfriend’s parents. He was looking for her. And he was not in a good mood.
He attacked her while her family, including her little sister, looked on in horror.
He eventually chased her upstairs into a bathroom. That’s where the girlfriend was found stabbed to death.
The boyfriend then apparently tried to take his own life, according to Upper Darby police.
Damn sad way to end the year, one that has been all too familiar in 2008.
