well, yesterday I found out that my uncle has cancer.... everywhere. But that's what happens when you drink and smoke and do god only know what else every day. I knew he probably wouldn't last very long since I haven't talked to him in the past 10(?) years once when he was sober. He was kinda fun to talk to on the phone since he rambled on about things that never made sense to me. The only thing that was very apparent through all the garbage spewing from his mouth was how much he loved his family. Most of our family has not kept in touch with him very well because of his alcohol and drug abuse. He would always tell me that he loved my mom very much and she was the best sister he had. He would tell me that he missed my other uncle and that he wished they got to see each other more. He would ask about his mom, who has Alzheimer’s, and tell me how she was the best mom anyone could ever have.
Well, about 10 minutes ago I got a call from my Dad, here at work, telling me that my uncle died around 12:15. I knew it was coming but it's still a shock because I only found out he was sick yesterday. Yesterday all I knew was that he had cancer and it was in his throat, lungs, kidney and liver as far as the doctors knew. He was in a lot of pain and he was on pain medication. It's just crazy that someone can be gone so fast. The last time I saw my uncle was over 12 years ago....
often times it's the consequence for living a hard life. Regardless it's never easy to hear someone passed especially family, but he's at peace now. I'm hear for you babe <3
ReplyDeleteI know honey, I just am still in shock. I guess I always knew he'd die of something related to his drug and alcohol abuse but I didn't think it would be now. But then again he's been living like that for the past 10 to 15 years as far as I know. Ahh well
