Tuesday, December 6th, 2005My uncle passed away
Tuesday, December 6th, 2005As they say, there is a time to come and a time to go. In some cases the time to go is too soon and too sudden. My uncle passed away yesterday, after trying to to live through a continuous fever since this summer, diagnosed with cancer just two months ago (so *that* was causing the fever!), doctors gave him two to six months, so he has been fighting to live the last months.
Then his wife had a heart attack some weeks ago, his son fell of the roof (doing a cleaning job his father normally did) and broke his ankle in the same weekend…the family was devastated.
In the last week things seemed to progress a little, his life expectation was adjusted and then, yesterday evening he passed away. DAMN!
Yesterday I had some discussions at work which made me feel bad, it doesn’t seem all that important now…
