so i just found out my great uncle died last night. he was in his 90s, living at a veteran's hospital in canada and had alzheimer's. he was a good guy- still had a scottish accent, and was one of the funniest people i've ever met. he was always so happy and pleasant, even moreso after the alzheimer's started taking effect. my grandpa, who also has alzheimer's, just gets frustrated and angry, but my uncle andy would try his hardest, and play along, even though it was obvious he didn't remember what you were talking about. that's how he was-- the type who just wanted to see people happy.
while it sucks to see him go, and it sucks to think about my equally pleasant great aunt who is now more alone than she's been in probably almost 70 years, i know he's happier now, and can't wait to hear his patented "HHHHEEEEEEH!" laugh again.
