Sadness can bring happiness

Jan 18, 2005 21:50

I have not updated for awhile but I felt that there was stuff (bad and good) to let people know about...
so my Great Uncle Erland (My dad's middle name sake) died on Monday from complications after/during surgery he was older and had a stroke before, he had a good full like this was still a shock to the family because he was doing well but his body just could not recover. with him and my grandma gone my great Aunt is the only one left so my parent's said that she is really emotional right know. But the happiness is that my 2nd cousin Nick is coming home from Iraq a little early due to the loss in our extended family, he might have to go back but most likely to a safer city than he is in right now. I mean I only see him once or twice a year (sometimes more if there are wedding/deaths/births) but he is family and it is nice to know that he will be in the USA even if it is just for a few days or a week. So last quarter my other Great Uncle Jim died and now Great Uncle Erland I did not see them all the time but both of them were good men that knew how to have a good time and could be kids at heart even in their seventies and eighties I will miss both of them.
