my uncle gary died last night.

he first got sick when i was in 6th grade. first it was cancer, then a whole mess of other things followed over the years. his cancer came back not too long ago and they had to remove his voice box. he had a lot of crazy surgeries, actually.

apparently he'd been doing pretty well recently. he was staying at an assisted living place near where my other uncle greg lives. earlier yesterday, greg went to see him and drop off some things for him and he was joking around with the nurses (as much as you can joke around when you can't talk, anyway) and was feeling great. then the next time the nurse went in to see him he was dead.

crazy shit.

sounds like the funeral is going to be this weekend.

my poor mom.

ugh.
