A couple of posts back I spoke about my uncle Oscar who had lung removed because of cancer. The following day he was up and on a great road to recovery.
I found out this morning that he has now taken a drastic turn for the worse and he's not expected to survive the night.
He has suffered a heart attack, largely blocked arteries, cannot breathe on his own and is running a heart rate of 164 which they cannot lower.
He's in Mass. I'm in New Brunswick. It's hard not being able to say goodbye in person. But here, I can say thank you for being such a wonderful man and uncle. He made me comfortable in a step-family that many of them did not care for our addition. But he was different. So fun. So full of life. So absolutely wonderful.
Our world will be a darker place without Oscar. And I can only hope that I am good enough in this world to see him in the next.
I love you Mon Oncle.
About Me
- Christina
- New Brunswick, Canada
- I am a happily married, 34-year old working chick and "mom" to three tempermental cats. With a great home life and a pretty good working life, how could it be better? I'm still trying to find the path to being a better person inside and out and finally shedding this weight. I've never been thin and I have always been easily affected by those around me. 2010 is the beginning of an improved me!
