Man,
So My Uncle Ron died yesterday from cancer and all the sudden. He had been doing good with treatment. He's my Aunts husband, My !@#$% fathers older sister. She has dementia but appears for the moment to understand what has happened. He was a smiling, strong, nice, calm fellow. Farmer, Truck driver. This Aunt was 1 of 2 Aunts that actually made an effort to stay in touch from 1976 to 2007 when my !@#$% father died. She also helped us settle his estate and affairs. They might move my Aunt to eastern Iowa with her oldest son(she has 3) but both he and his wife work full time as veterinarian, that won't be easy as her dementia is pretty far along.
So the week before my Grandpa on that side of the family had his illegitimate nephew lose his 2nd wife to dementia. He's a double widower now.
5 family deaths in about 6 weeks.
Not a happy time.

Not a happy time. just read this. Sorry for the losses. "With love, the father ever veils the future, hide from us tomorrows care. For well, he knows today's own burdens are enough, for you and me to bear." This chorus comes to mind sometimes. It's well we cannot see the future.

I don't see that I posted this, so here it is:
Last week at about 4AM at my aunt's place in Montana her daughter who takes care of her woke up. Something told her to look out the window. Then she saw it, a HUGE fire up on the corner of their property of 20 acres. It was where her nephew lives. She ran quickly up there to help and grab the two kids that were his girlfriend's kids, they were under 18. Maybe even quite young. 3 campers and at least 2 cars burned to the ground. Her nephew lives in one of the campers. My aunt mentioned that there was a space heater in the one camper (snows on the ground so very cold) so it might have shorted out or the kids knocked it over.
The real thing on our mind? Thank God the kids survived. BUT where was the nephew and his girlfriend at 4am with kids home alone?

Damn, Got notified this morning that my Cousin Trudy died at 215am, age 59/60. She needed a double lung transplant. A med was used to keep her alive but she acquired a new issue that the med was making worse. So they took her off it in AUG. I figured this would happen. Back in AUG I setup everything so she could live near us so I could care for her during the process (3 years) at the UW Hospital in Seattle, but at the last second she went to Texas to be near her brother and get the transplant there. She is the youngest child of my 92 year old Aunt in MT. So called my Aunt to offer condolences and her daughter Toy answered and said my Aunt won't wake up. Why my cousin didn't call 911 I don't know, she called hospice instead and they just arrived 11 minutes ago after a couple hours or so of waiting. She doesn't even know that her Daughter is gone. So my B@stard Fathers last surviving brother (Uncle LJ) has cancer in his Ear, Prostate and spine. If he goes soon that would be 8 folks since the Last week of NOV. Not a happy time at all...

So this leaves my mother(85) and her brother(91) left out of 7 children. On the other side I have 7 Aunts and 1 Uncle left out of 14 children, ages 87 down to 61.
We are on the verge of becoming the next generation of Elders...
On mothers side I'm like 4th from the bottom age wise. On his side I'm 5th from the top age wise.

Wally you sure are having a lot of grief. I am so sorry you have going through this. Yeah its not a good time. Thank you. Tomorrow, I have a procedure to go through from about 6:30am to roughly 10:30am if it goes well. No one would watch mom, so she's gonna have to be alone during that time. Nervous, I try to go no more than 1 or 2 hours. My Church Elder was going to drive me there and back but last week had to cancel that for a funeral, Luckly A different Elder Volunteered to do it for him. I've known this Elder since I was 14. Good guy. My Aunt played at his sisters wedding long long ago. We used to go see them often They run a dairy farm. She wasn't able to have children, so they went the adoption route and if I remember right it took 10 years for the whole thing to happen.

It went well enough to give Bob some grief on tmb I'm guessing? Hope you're well.

I went to a dentist and she asked me when my last doctors (MD) visit was. I said it was April 5, 1976... I only went then because it was a physical exam required by the FAA for private pilot lessons. She ask why I haven't seen a doctor since then and I told her because he said I was okay.. For some reason, that baffled her.

I hope all went well with both you and with you mom staying by herself. ps I kept on reading and saw that you weren't happy with your report. I'm sorry to hear that. We've been getting some bad news in our family lately too. In our case it's the joys of aging I guess.
