    I just spoke with my mom. She said my uncle is in the hospital, and the doctors gave him 24 hours. I knew he has been fighting cancer (started in his bones, then went away, then spread) and lately, he has been in and out of the hospital with pneumonia...

    He went back to the hospital Monday, and then yesterday they gave them the bad news...

    I have no real clue on how I should be feeling, as I haven't truely lost anyone that close to me before. I feel a bit left out now.
    I know everyone looses people throughout their life, but I have only been to maybe three funerals, once when I was really young, and once when I was in the Marines, (lost an aunt)... I wasn't there for the suffering, or anything. I just flew home to be with the family.

    Part of me wants him to make it out of this, for his family to be together through the holidays. Another part of me (probably for the better) wants him to pass quickly, as I know he has been through a lot more than anyone should.

    This man is a saint. Never once have I seen or heard him raise his voice in anger, talk bad about someone, or really complain about anything. No, he isn't rich. Just a hard working man, trying to make ends meet. Never stops trying either. He was dealt the worst hands when it came to health.

    He, and some of the "guys" went up north (MN) on a fishing trip once. When they got there, he had tripped over a log or stump. When he landed, he broke (clean off) his achilles tendon... He lasted a couple days up there, trying not to ruin the trip. Then he couldn't stand the pain any more, and had them take him to the hospital.
    The man is a straight up trooper.

    Husband of one
    Father of four
    Giver of anything he has.

    I just needed to get that out.
    Please pray for him and his family?

    Thanks ya'll.

    Am I wrong to hope it happens soon? Not that I'm excited about it or anything, just that the man has obviously gone through enough of this shi...
