uncle

got word about an hour ago that my uncle died this morning.

he had cancer.

he had had a mild heart attack in june area? and that was when they discovered he had a couple spots on his lung. and then they found it in his lungs, his kidneys, his liver, his brain, his spine and in his bones.

So from diagnosis to death - three months. with no symptoms of cancer.

he is the first of my father's siblings to pass away. he was younger than my father... he would have been 56 this year, if he wasn't already depending on his birthdate.

am probably cancelling classes on friday, and leaving class early today. just want to go and hug my daughter.
