Death in the Family
Two weeks ago I wrote that my uncle was in the hospital in critical condition. This morning my mother called me to let me know that he passed away last night.

I was not close to him, and he had many, many problems, but the death has hit my family in California pretty hard. This in turn has made it difficult for me. While I realize that I could not do much if I were with them, events like this make you realize how far you are from the people that are important to you and make you wish that you could be closer to them.

I will probably write about my uncle later, for there are things I would like to say.

For now may he find the peace that so often eluded him during his life.
