Loss
My youngest uncled passed away last night of massive stroke. It was a surprise. He took care of himself. He faithfully saw his doctor, took his medicine, did his tests. He exercised regularly, kept his weight under control, watched what he ate and drank. He didn't drink alcohol or smoke. He was raising his great granddaughter 3 days a week or more. He hadn't been sick or had any problems lately. Just a sudden stroke. He went into a coma immediately and lasted about 12 hours breathing on his own.
He was only 10 years older than me. That's an eye oener. A dismal one.
Every time someone close to you dies, you not only grieve fot that person's loss, the immediate family's sorrow, but you must deal with your own mortality over again.
It doesn't get easier as you get older, no matter how great your faith might be.
My uncle was a kind and generous man. He wanted to do what is right. He will be missed by many.
