Uncle Donald

My great uncle passed away Monday. The funeral is today, starting right now. Neither my dad or my brother were going because they had to work and my dad said it wasn’t a big deal if I didn’t go. So I didn’t. I did go to the viewing last night. Thank god they had a closed casket. I wouldn’t have been able to handle 2 hours in there looking at him. Besides I rather remember him the way he was when he was alive.

He has been sick with cancer for a few years and they had got rid of it then it would come back and they’d get rid of it again. Then one day his wife said he was acting very out of sorts, like he’d gone crazy and they took him to the doctor and found that he had a tumor on his brain. There’s was nothing they could do and they gave him 6 months. He went down hill really fast. I think it was only 2 months before he got pneumonia and was taken back to the hospital. While he was there they found that the cancer was spread throughout his body. Now the doctor gives him 2 months.
