Uncle Jacques

Feb 25, 2005 14:11

I'm not feeling great at the moment...My mom's uncle which I consider and call my uncle as well is not well at all...he's only got a few days, maybee weeks to live it seems. It's especially hard because I'm all the way here and as much as I'd like to see him before he passes away I can't. I've just writen him a letter to tell him everything he means to me, hopefully it'll cheer him up a bit. He was the first one who talked to me about Africa, as he was a missionary there when he was younger. He told me a lot of stories, about Africa, travelling and all the wounderful things there are to see out there. I think I got the love of travelling from him in a way. He's such a great man!!! As far as I know he's got a general cancer, and it's attacked his lungs, which is why he hasn't got long to live. Life sucks so much!!! I just hope that where he's going he'll be happy and all...he's a man of god, if someone deserved to go to heaven thats him...
