The big C...........................
just less than three months ago a much beloved uncle was feeling off.
He was confused, agitated and out of sorts.
Some would say he was always cranky :) but he wasn't. He just spoke his mind and was a very particular type of a person.
He had tests done and was admitted to hospital where they very quickly discovered he had cancer and lots of it! this included several brain tumours, and tumours in his lungs.
To watch this tall, strong, handsome, intelligent man dissolve so quickly has been astonishing and devastating.
As l write this he is spending his second night in a hospice and possibly has very few nights left in him.
I visited today and said my goodbyes quietly and quickly.
Just looking at the deterioration in him in the few days since l saw him last was a revelation of the sheer force that is Cancer.
I will not go up again. He sleeps mostly now, this is a time for his nearest.
I am left with a lifetime of memories that make up what my Uncle means to me and to all of our family.
I love you dear man. Goodnight x
