My mom woke me up yesterday around 2 to tell me my uncle who had had been suffering from cancer had passed. My cousin (his daughter) Susan was alone when he died. Which, in my opinion, is something that should have never happened. We just came home.
It was scary to see him dead. His mouth was wide open and it looked like he had been in pain, but I know he was asleep when he died. He was on so many pain medications. His skin was unhealthy, and since he had been vomiting blood, his teeth were a coffee color.
-sigh-
When the funeral home came to get him, his room was clean and empty within minutes. It really made me think. How quickly someone can be cleaned away, all traces of our lives gone. I hope when I go, I leave behind good memories, people who love me.
And I don’t want to die alone.
I…don’t know. I’m still kinda numb.
