lead heart

My uncle died suddenly last Tuesday.

I had taken the day off of work (because I'm seriously hating my job lately). I talked to my folks around 10 and let them know I'd be up in a little while.

Got up there around 11:40 and I heard these weird noises coming from the kitchen. It sounded like my mom cooing to my niece.

I walked in and my mom was on the floor, face in her hands, weeping. My dad was sitting next to her, holding her.

All he said was, "Uncle John died."

I walked in the door about 1 minute after my mom got the call from my cousin, James.

I've been heartbroken ever since. My uncle was a saint. Such a sweet, loving, and kind man.

His death was sudden and unexpected -- he had, from what I understand, suffered a fatal abdominal aortic aneuryism.

My family went up for the funeral over the weekend.

I'm still just in shock. I keep randomly falling apart
