I woke up this morning to find out that my great uncle (Mom's side. Grandfather's brother) had died from cancer. We all knew he was going to die soon because he started hospice about a month ago, but we didn't know when. I guess it's good in a way because now his suffering is over.
I barely knew him, but maybe that's the problem. If you know the person, then it makes you feel really bad because you lost someone close. If you weren't very close to someone when they die, you feel bad about that. He lived in Texas and I live in PA though... so it was kinda hard for me to talk to him. He had an e-mail address though, so I feel bad about not talking to him over the internet. I think maybe we talked through e-mail one time a few years ago, but we didn't e-mail each other after that. I was looking forward to him visiting PA sometime in the next few years, but I knew that I would never see him again after we found out he had cancer. The last time I saw him was the summer after I finished 9th grade.
He gave me a nice watch for graduation. I don't know if it was cheap or expensive, but it's nice and I like it (which is what matters.) I'm going to try to keep the watch working for as long as possible.
I know everyone dies eventually, but I just thought he deserved a topic....
RIP Stanley Guy
