My Uncle is a good man, I love him as a second father. In many ways, he has been even kinder than my own father has been. He is a simple family man who has worked hard all his life. His life has also been very hard on him. He is a Virgo, and was sickly as a child and even more so as an adult. He had a few accidents, allergies, ulcers, and ten years ago miraculously survived a dangerous illness. He was hospitalized for two months and the prognosis was bleak. Praise the Lord he made it  About six years ago, his wife of more than twenty years left him and their children for another man. She'd been having an affair when she got pregnant by her bf. He wasn't able to have any more children, and so she confessed and left. He remarried, but the hurt was profound. Eventually, his exwife became widowed and wanted him back. This created major upheavel as I believe he didn't totally get over her. Caught between his ex and current wife he stood back and took a break before making any decisions. Soon after (two months ago) his only son perished in a tragic accident. He was but 17 years old ): I still can't believe he is truly gone, and that this could happen to my Uncle who has already been through so much in life. Saying life is unfair and such.. but why? No one deserves for such a thing to happen, it seems these things happen to those that really do try to be good to others. My Unce and my cousin were very close. He has an older daugther, but it was his son who remained at home with him throughout the divorce. A special bond now severed. IP: Logged |

How heartbreaking.  Karma? Coincidence? Bad luck? In any case, it just doesn't seem fair. I'm sure you've already entertained the above possibilities, so I sense your question is more rhetorical. How is he doing? It sounds like your bond with him is close. Your presence in his life is undoubtedly priceless. My heart goes out to everyone involved. Take care. IP: Logged |

We are close, he is also my Godfather. He is taking the loss hard, sometimes he requires meds to go to sleep at night. He also visits his sons resting place every day.IP: Logged |

I am so sorry. I also feel is unfair. Be there for him; he needs you. You know, many tragic incidents have also happened in my life and to my family that is also not fair, but I take it one day at a time. I am very blessed in having the strength that I have, and I am grateful for that.

My heart goes out to you & your uncle.I know it's no comfort, but some of us, in this life, have trials that seem unbearable. Those that continue on have a rich understanding that some cannnot comprehend. I bet he is one of the most giving & compassionate people you know. If you are around to comfort him & listen to his wisdom & pass it on than his trials won't be in vein. My prayers are with you both.  IP: Logged |

Thank you It is healing to be able to come here and express. In the family, everyone is so sad and afraid of causing my Uncle more sadness... that we don't really air out how we feel. Hi Yang (: Some days are better than others, but when I think of my cousin I get a sharp pain inside. I'm not sure if that will always be with me. Both his parents worked, and my mom babysat him since he was a wee one. I even changed his diapers (: He was like a brother to me. His 18th birthday would of been on the 29th of this month. He had been planning on having it be a special celebration  He was just like his dad, always wanting to help others. The night he left, he did a good deed. He wanted to accompany his two female friends home from work since it was late. The drunk driver passed the light and hit the side of the car. He was gone instantly, but bless the Lord his friends survived. IP: Logged |
