Another Funeral...

I know it's kind of late but I felt as though I needed to update again. A few hours I got the news that one of my uncles died this afternoon. Now don't worry, I'm not all that sad or anything. I guarantee that I won't be disappearing from Live Journal or anything like that. But my uncle was really suffering, he had cancer (not exactly sure what

I'm sorry to hear about your Uncle, but it's great that you can focus on the good times and laugh and just talk with the family.

Yeah I've decided to stop allowing sadness to overwhelm me during these kinds of things. I've been doing it for too long now...I figured it's time for be to be strong and move on.

Thanks for the comment, my friend. :)

R.I.P to your uncle. :[
*a prayer sent to him full of love*

Thank you very much. I really appreciate it.

Sorry about that, Miguel. Yeah, I try not to think about it because I'm so young. But mortality still freaks me out. I want to be interred above-ground in a mausoleum. I don't like the idea of being underground and cremation just doesn't sit well with me. I remember my great-grandma had leukemia and she actually went shopping for a casket and picked her clothes and tombstone and everything. She died in '93. We still miss her.

Don't get too sad. We all love you. We're both young, so let's not think about things like death for now.

Don't worry, Diana...I'll be just fine. But I too try my best not to think about these kinds of things. It just bugs me at work when my two partners debate everyday about what they think happens after death. I mean, it's ok to mention it rarely...but not everyday like this. But I agree we are both to young to be thinking of these kinds of things.

The story about your great-grandmother is very moving. She sounded like a very strong person. I guess it runs in the family. But thank you Diana...I know I'm not alone, and I'll continue to live my life to the fullest. ;)

Sorry to hear about your uncle. I'm another one that doesn't like to think about death too much, I guess, but I know when my own grandfather died last year it helped to talk about it.

[neo_rufus]

Yeah death isn't one of those topics I look forward to discussing either. There are so many other positive things to look forward to. But I'm glad that you agree that talking about it does make things a bit easier. It may hurt to talk about it at first, but I can't imagine what it would be like if a person kept those feelings inside the entire time.

But thank you very much for the comment. It means allot. :D

I'm so sorry Miguel, I hope you're doing as well as it sounds. My aunt just passed away last week from cancer also [of the liver], but I also didn't know her too well..just that I am going to miss having her around. It's hard when people have cancer, because it's so unpredictable and a lot of times, people suffer for days just waiting for the time to come. I wish we could find a cure for cancer soon :/

[neo_rufus]

I'm doing fine, thanks. I'm sorry to hear about your loss as well. So it looks like we are in the same situation at the moment. But we'll both remain strong and support each other. :)

Cancer is pretty tough. It's a scary thing to think about. But I hope a cure is found as well.
