I always took for granted that he would be here for a long time, so it hasn't sunk it very well that he is gone.<BR/><BR/>I was wondering about your trip to Japan and if there was any particular reason. I am very sorry to hear that. My condolences to you and your SO. <BR/><BR/>Life is way too fragile.Heidi Meeleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01436991028382498324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7747146.post-77506299182504153902008-03-04T07:57:00.000-08:002008-03-04T07:57:00.000-08:00Sorry to hear about your Uncle.

You’re so right about family and health. <BR/><BR/>My SO’s Uncle just died as well, we knew it was coming, that’s why we went to Japan in November.

It makes me very sad to know I will never hear my uncle tell another funny story or to hear his unique laugh. I am also very sad for my aunt, who is reeling from losing a man she should have grown much older with.<BR/><BR/>Thank you again.Heidi Meeleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01436991028382498324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7747146.post-9390953573620826252008-03-03T20:02:00.000-08:002008-03-03T20:02:00.000-08:00Drew, I agree.

I feel a great deal of empathy with you on this one. Life gets so busy that sometimes family gets second priority. As a workaholic, it made me sad to see that I had put work over that. It might be a bit empty at first, but I have vowed to make trips this summer to the east and west. <BR/><BR/>Someday I hope to make it down your way too!Heidi Meeleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01436991028382498324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7747146.post-45579829169191391172008-03-03T00:19:00.000-08:002008-03-03T00:19:00.000-08:00Very sorry to hear this Heidi.

It still gets me now and again when I think of one of his jokes or sayings that this irreplaceable man is gone. Like I said before, you won't get over this, but eventually, it won't hurt as much. God be with you and your kinfolk...Carlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06642758191046222448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7747146.post-7567170200533357592008-03-02T22:08:00.000-08:002008-03-02T22:08:00.000-08:00My grandfather died when he was 64 when I was 10. ...My grandfather died when he was 64 when I was 10.

At my Dad's funeral I saw family members I haven't seen in years, some of them decades. I saw family members with kids that I knew as kids that last time I saw them. I really didn't think I thought too much of it, but realized that it had been too long and that a lot of those family members were actually good people and people I want to see more of.John Hollandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11714537622409205603noreply@blogger.com
