*sigh* My Uncle, Uncle MacCarthy, died in a hostpital. He was 96. Before he died, I held his hand, and started crying. His last words to me were, "I love you Chris". I said I loved him back. A few hours later, he died of natural causes. :'(
my heart goes out to you....wishing you all the best in this time of hardship. if luck is with you, hopefully you'll have such a long and most likely full and joyous life. be happy you feel it, though. when i was quite little, i watched my granddad die....haven't felt anything emotionally when relatives have died since.
I am sorry to hear of the death of your uncle, CK. He sure must have led a full life, with living to the age of 96. You were very fortunate to enjoy his company for a long time.
