I got a phone call from my mother last night. I could hear in her voice she was very upset. I figured my dad, or my grandmother(both 82 years old..., don't ask) had passed. I damn near blacked out when she told me my uncle Hank had a massive heart attack and died. ****ing WHAT?!?!?!?!?! I can't believe it, i'm shocked, stunned, ****ing incredulous. How does this happen? He was 59, 20 years in the Army, 6' 165 lbs, great health, loving wife of 10 years, all around class act. It just doesn't feel real. Needless to say, I'm drinking heavily tonight. I know it won't bring him back, but at least it keeps me from totally losing my ****. We were very close, and this is going to take a long time to reconcile in my own mind. Very sad. i'm lost. I don't know what else to say.

Oh, no. I'm sorry to hear of this. You have my deepest sympathy, for you and your family. I can't believe how sudden this was, and how your family must feel.

Thanks Man. That helps.

Thank you everyone for your support. It's gonna be rough for awhile, but it'll get easier eventually. He was a Corona drinker, so I may have to pick some up and drink it in his honor.

Cheers everyone.

That sucks. I got one of those calls once for my uncle, same deal, he was only 44 though. Looked like a frigging swimmer, lean and tall and athletic. He was a great guy, too, my Uncle Jim. Class act. Sometimes the best go first. Just writing this makes me sad.

So drink and weep and let it all out - and I'll join you and raise one for your Uncle Hank right now.

life goes on. I hope you take that in the best way.

I mean that sympathetically and I take comfort in that myself for I have suffered a loss too.

Hey, I am no stranger to loss, myself... And it never gets easier. But if there is one thing I can add, it would be this: Loved ones might leave us physically, but never leave our memories or our hearts. So share those memories and the love felt, and celebrate the life that was.
