I wondered about sharing this...but Blogs can't be happy, happy, happy all of the time can they? Today my Mom's eldest brother, my lovely Uncle John passed away. He was suffering with Cancer and had two wishes, one, that he would see his first Great Grandchild. Coco Poppy is now a couple of months old and he was a very proud man. His second wish was that he could die at home. He passed away peacefully this morning in his own home. My Aunt was supported to take care of him at home by the fantastic Macmillan Cancer Support Nurses, their help has been invaluable. I am feeling very sad, with lots of childhood memories...he was the 'poor' Uncle I grew up next door to, and I know that my busy body face was not always a welcome sight for him when he got home from a tiring day at work and 'Little' me wanted to talk his ears off! He and my Aunt never made me feel unwelcome, perhaps that was one of their mistakes! Happy memories of Uncle John and gratitude that he got his wishes. xxx

Dear friend, Lucy... as I've said, you are so lucky to have had your family so close and have such wonderful memories. I can relate to your loss.. my Aunt Wilma passed away a week ago, my dad's brother's wife.. and when my dad's only living brother and his wife were driving home from her funeral, they got in a terrible car wreck and 3 days later my 2nd aunt died. My uncle survived with no injury. :-( Sad things to happen this time of year. I'm sorry for your loss.. hugsss to you.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear about your loss. It sounds like you have many lovely memories to stay with you after the sadness passes.
ReplyDeleteAny loss this time of year is challenging. I know from experience. I'm very sorry for your family and will keep you in my thoughts. It's good to hear he had his final wishes come true. It sounds like he was and always will be a dearly loved man. Best regards.
