Even though maybe for your uncle - and the rest of you - having him no longer in the suspended animation that is Alzheimers - maybe that was a relief.

Because laughter is, I think, a better gift, a bigger gift, than tears. <br />And I'd like to say something deborah quinnhttp://www.mannahattamamma.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4342173666009236462.post-34459790470836344112012-08-29T15:42:56.990-04:002012-08-29T15:42:56.990-04:00hi love. so sorry for your loss. and since my fami...hi love. so sorry for your loss. and since my family thrives on melancholy, my heart goes out for you. sending love and hugs.

Whether you're close to someone who passed away or not, the death is still a reminder that we're only given a certain amount of time on this effed up planet of ours. Enjoy those who make you happy and try to spread a little of that around when you can, if only to make yourself feel a little bit better. <br /><br />My thoughts are with you and your Abbyhttp://www.abbyhasissues.comnoreply@blogger.com
