After months of anticipation, and the last few agonizing days of detailed events in the degradation of his health, my uncle died last night.

It was so difficult to hear the nightly reports from my father. My concern for his family grew ever since we heard his misdiagnosed pneumonia was actually lung cancer.

He dipped below 100lbs. this weekend, a far cry from the 260 he was just three months earlier.

The funeral is Monday, but with work and school combined, the astronomical fee for a short notice cross-country flight, and our cats I'm apparently wrapped up too much in myself to be able to make it to the funeral.
