goodbye
my great uncle JT is dying and will probably be dead before the day is over. he might as well be my uncle because I grew up with the man in my life calling him just that...he was to me what most real uncles are to little kids growing up. we used to have thanksgiving at his and Aunt Rainie's house and after we were done eating he would go down to the basement with me and teach me how to shoot pool and usually play a game with me. i never won but he never gloated about being better than me and he always played with me when I wanted to. i used to always love to watch him tinker around with stuff he was always messing with something trying to fix it or make it better or re-create it with a new appendage. i'll miss him terribly but he's been so sick for so long i'm very glad he's not going to be suffering much longer. after work I think I'll go to the hospital and say goodbye..dad and I cancelled dinner, he understands JT was part of his family for 16 years for gods sake before he and mom split so he knows him well too. this is breaking my heart, I hate losing loved ones. whatever happens by the end of the day I hope he goes in peace, if he has to go at all.
