yesterday evening, my favorite family member, my uncle Leonid Medved died.
he was the leader of my family, and he was the greatest man i know.
he was the reason i was able to come to the united states, and he was the reason that i was able to come here and settle in a beautiful home in trumbull, rather then some project in bridgeport.
he was always posative.
he was diagnosed with lung cancer 4 years ago. after chemo he seemed to be making progress, until his body stopped responding to it. he was put on an experimental treatment, which lead to a stroke two weeks ago. His wife died ten monthes ago from cancer.
Lenny was like a father to me.
he would tell everyone stories of how when i was little i always had a hammer in my hand and was always helping him and my grandpa fix things.
death is the biggest reality check of all.
tommorow is the funeral.
i miss him.
r.i.p. Leonid Medved. My hero.
