A Family Ordeal

Imported Livejournal entry 03.08.08

I had a RIDICULOUS day/night at work last night. I worked 15 hours to finish the paper. Yay for overtime though. (I think.)


Then, I woke up to quite a shock this morning. My uncle passed away in his sleep last night. I guess the "in his sleep" part is what most people would want; however, he was only like 59 or 60. This was my dad's sister's husband, and ironically, the uncle I felt closest too. Our family on that side lives so far apart that we aren't very close, but I've seen this uncle many times, especially in the last 5 or 6 years. My heart goes out to my cousins, who have lost their father. I can't imagine what that must be like for them.
