This week is almost over...
So, my uncle (technically my mom's uncle but nonetheless, my uncle) passed away Wednesday morning. He was diagnosed a few weeks ago with lung cancer that had spread to his brain. He went through 15 radiation treatments and seemed to be responding well. However, a few days after he was released from the hospital, he stopped eating and that, as they say, was that. I was awakened early Wednesday morning to the worst news I've had in awhile.
The funeral is tomorrow and I hope to make my peace with this whole situation soon. I've moved beyond the crying every time I stopped moving to just missing him and being sad that it all happened too fast for me to get to say goodbye.
Uncle Carroll(yes, that was his name :-P) always took interest in me and helped me learn to be a better athlete (and person). He would bring me buckets of softballs so that I'd be able to practice at home and not have to chase one ball the whole time. He also called my mom Moosie for her entire life and that always made me giggle. He always cheered up those around him.
He will be missed. RIP
On an up note, I will be moving into my new top floor apartment to live all by myself sans parents on Tuesday. Once I get everything set up and prettified, I will post pics.
If you've read this far, thank you for listening now that I'm finally at a point where I can talk about it without breaking down.
