This year started out fine, until today when I received some sudden bad news. An uncle of mine passed away unexpectedly.
He was young, but did have some health issues, that didn’t seem to be life threatening. Guess we and the doctors were wrong.
He seemed to have had a cardiac arrest that he did not survive sometime lastnight before bed.
He had friends who checked on him regularly as he was confined to a wheelchair and they decided to check on him this morning, early. Something they would have normally put off until later in the day, but this morning the lady neighbor said something didn’t feel right and they needed to check on him now. She was right….our lives changed forever in that instant. My uncle Tim is now with his parents and a brother that passed before him, hopefully all are together looking down on us all as we grieve. Hopefully, my husband and I will be traveling to Minnesota to be with family in time for the funeral.
We have to work a few things out at our jobs but it doesn’t sound like its going to be a problem. Our jobs are pretty flexible, but at this time of year, its pretty hard to get away for a few days because of the nature of our jobs. So, this could be a “working†trip for us. In our minds, this is what you do for family, no matter what. RIP Uncle Tim 1962 – 2012 ( he just turned 50 on New Year’s Day).
Prayers for his siblings (6 out of 8) would be appreciated......my dad is one of them and cannot travel to the funeral due to his own health issues. Thanks in advance.
