A sad day for my family...

Saturday afternoon my dad's brother passed away.  Yes he is my uncle, but I feel the grief more for my dad and his loss than for myself. 

My uncle helped raise my dad when his parents passed away when he was just a little guy.  The bond that these two felt crossed time, space and sickness.  My dad is a little lost right now, and headed to Newfoundland to be with family and for the funeral.

Alzheimer's is a horrible disease, and took my uncle much too soon and way too quickly. 

You will be missed, you were loved, and we will remember you.
