My mother rang me early this morning

I'm sorry to hear that about your uncle. *hugs*

[blamebrampton]

Cheers, ears. He was not well for the last few years of his life, but it was a shock to have him go suddenly. I do know that he had a fear of a lingering end, so I suppose that's something … Such an odd phrase. 'That's something' always makes me feel as though I have just said something along the lines of 'Well, at least he wasn't eaten slowly by lions …'

Very sorry about your loss *hugs* if you want.

[blamebrampton]

Hugs are always welcome! And your icons are always such beautiful people, so it is like being cheered up by loveliness at the same time as a hug (exactly like, as you are a very lovely person).

I'm glad I could cheer you up even just a bit :3

And thanks for the icon-love, that's Elly, he's a dancer, a grandma's boy, and a lovely human being that would, upon picking up a Happy Mother's Day card somebody lost in his concert venue would actually go and look for said mother amongst the concert goers (and found her!) to give her the card back. He would be happy to hear he's bringing some brightness into people's life.

He sounds terrific! More people like Elly would be a very fine addition to the world right now!

I didn't want to let let this pass unremarked. I am sorry for your loss, because even difficult people leave a hole in the fabric of your life. And your last line made me laugh, but also wince as it is also the sort of thing my difficult uncle would say...

[blamebrampton]

Thanks, dear! I'm just pleased he got to do a few fun things in his final year and we had a few conversations that neither of us wanted to actively flee from. Ten years ago I would have sworn both would be impossible goals.

I'm sorry for your loss. *hugs*

Thanks, dear! We weren't close, but it's sad he died much younger than he had to.

I'm sorry to hear about your uncle.

Thanks, Jae. Trying to work out the song list for his funeral now, because no-one else here knows anything about the Alan Parsons Project, his fave band.
