No knitting today.
\nMy Uncle Ray died on Easter Sunday. He was only 51 years old, and died after a short but hard fight with oesaphagal (sp?) cancer. His funeral was today. It was a sad occasion, although it is nice to catch up with cousins that I haven’t seen in many years, and to have the opportunity to say “That’s your baby?? My goodness, he’s so big!” and the like, but I hate it that we only catch up at sad occasions.
\nI’m glad he is no longer in pain, and that his family is no longer watching him die slowly.
\nI didn’t see him (or other relatives for that matter) nearly often enough, but he will be missed by many.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
