RIP Uncle M

when i got home from work there was a message from mom to call her. i got my cell phone to return the call & there was a VM from cousin C, Uncle M had passed was her tearful message.

i called my mom & told her i got the message, so we talked some, then i called C back. she told me she had gone to the house about 12:30, everything was fine but they had noticed a change in palor, he was lighter. Uncle M's sister went to hold his hand about 1pm & didn't feel a pulse, the sheet was pulled down & his chest wasn't moving either. 911 was called & they confirmed what was already known, Uncle M had passed in his sleep.

it was a long, tough battle; thankfully it wasn't drawn out over many years like some people have to suffer through. Uncle M fought hard, held out as long as he could & even the dr's said it was a miracle he was still alive.

i had a feeling he was holding out for Aunt O's birthday at the end of July, his "Bon-chee".

RIP Uncle M, we'll miss you!
