Very sad
My Uncle Richard died yesterday. Even after typing that, I still can't accept it. Probably because a.) he's the first person I've known who's died, b.) he's been my biggest supporter for my whole life, and c.) I just spoke to him on Wednesday and he was fine. I'm the beneficiary to his will but first we need to find it and there's a HUGE issue with proving we're related because technically, we're not. He hasn't spoke to my mom (his "sister") in a few years, but she would be his first of kin. They are cousins and when my Uncle was 8 months old his mom (my mom's aunt) dropped him off and never came back. My mom's parents never legally adopted him and have both been dead for over 25 years. He does have legal siblings that he met once, but they were horrible people and he never associated with them. So now that leaves us (me and his friends who are really like family) to hope the will is found and everything can go smoothly. Our last conversation was about him making arrangements to be here in October when Rog and I get married because he wanted to give me away. :( It's all so sad and I can't think of another word to describe how I feel.
