A Sad Day....

Today we lost my great uncle, the son of my great-grandmother (who I talk about visiting every other Sunday).
His health had gone pretty downhill, they didn't think he would make it very much longer. I logged onto Facebook morning to see a post from his son saying "RIP Dad".
I wasn't very close to my great uncle, I only saw him a few times a year, and more recently not even that much. But....I am glad that he is no longer suffering.
I don't think they have any plans for services till next week, when his son can come back into the state.

@porwest That is true, although I am not always the best at that.

Well I appreciate that. I saw him more when I was younger and he ran his farm still.

I´m sorry for your loss. Sometimes, I feel that it is better to let go, if the person is suffering too much.

I am as well, thank you....and I don't know yet how she is doing....but I can't imagine too well since she doesn't want to keep hanging in there herself.
