So. I'm sitting with, and trying to figure out how I feel about the news that my Father's oldest brother just died. It was not unexpected, he'd had some major surgery some months ago, and has been in a care home for a while now. On the whole, I'm glad he's not suffering any more. I think it's more the idea that my parents siblings are dying that worries me. We're not a close or particularly demonstrative family (like at all). But my Dad is 76, and the youngest of six. (Five now I guess). Uncle Bill was at least 10 years older than my Dad.

Mortality man. Rough thoughts.

*hugs* I've been hyper aware of my parents' mortality ever since my grandmother died in the spring. And they are getting to the age where they are slowing down and getting more fragile.
