Wednesday

Uncle J. passed away today.  I accompanied our Aunt to the hospital and I didn't know that I would still see him lying in bed.  I didn't want to remember him like that.  The last time I saw a dead body was when my grandma passed away and at the funeral her casket was open.  But today I was shocked.  I was not prepared for that.  He looked so peaceful though.

We sat by his bedside and talked about the good times.  He would have been 85 this July.  We said our goodbyes and I was in tears when I saw our aunt parting with him.
