pressure's gonna drop on you
My uncle Joe died this morning. My immediate reaction was "Is Aunt Sue okay?", and that was directly followed by "She must feel pretty good, actually".
I wasn't close with him at all. When I was younger, like way way younger, we would stop over at uncle Joe & aunt Sue's house, and he'd let me play on his computer. They had AOL, and I think I tried getting online but couldn't figure it out. So I played those lame math games and I think Where In The World Is Carmen San Diego for hours, then me and my cousin would watch Boy Meets World or something on TV and run around.
My whole life, he's pretty much been that guy, sitting in a reclining chair, ordering his wife around and making her a nervous wreck for the last 10 years. I guess he got some kind of injury or disease, maybe Diabetes, I don't remember, but he did nothing these last couple years. And a month or so ago, he got taken to the hospital because they couldn't take care of him anymore at home. It was costing her like $7000 a week.
It shouldn't have been a shock to anybody, but my mom said that she and my aunt were talking this morning about a really good visit her family had with him yesterday, and he was really happy for once, and they talked about getting him a laptop (cause he really likes computers) and stuff, so everyone was feeling really good about the whole thing. This is just kind of like a huge let down.
But, like I said, I barely knew the guy.
