I'm more upset about this than I thought I would be.
My Neighbor, Uncle Eddie, passed away today. Growing up we had no family around, so my mom used to joke that we adopted family members whether they liked it or not.
I think secretly, Aunt Shirley, Aunt Barbara and Uncle Eddie liked having us as adopted nieces.
I was too little when Aunt Shirley died (within a few weeks of my grandmother). And this is strange being so upset about it.
I guess that's the good and bad thing about having no close relatives. Deaths in the family don't happen very often. And now I don't know how to deal with it.
