It is all part of life...but it does not mean we have to like it!
My very special beautiful Uncle John passed away this morning peacefully at 8.16am.He was 79 about to have his 80th birthday and he has been a big part of my life,I was raised in the same house he lived in with my grandparents, he gave me away at our wedding and I simply loved him.After just 2 days in hospital his body just gave up and God took him into his arms..sleep a wonderful restful slumber,you deserve it after some very hellish days ,Uncle John,don't forget to save me a place up there,I am so grateful that I got to see you not long ago and that you loved me was a blessing.Mum is very distressed as this is her baby brother and we live far away and could not get to say goodbye or to go to the funeral on Wednesday.Saying goodbye to this generation is very difficult,we are lucky to have longevity in the family,however it makes us realise that time passes so fast so we have to make the most of every day.
On a happier note,we now have Livvy and Will here for a few days,they were going to cancel but we thought they would keep Great Nanna occupied as they bring her lots of joy.
so sorry and sad for you Carole and your mum and your family,RIP John.xx

Hi Carole
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to here your familys sad news. Sounds like he was a wonderful caring person. I am sure your mum will be ok with all you around. It wont be easy. Things like this make us stop & reflect. Sounds like he will be greatly missed. I think that is the hardest thing in life having to say goodbye to those we hold so dear.
