In mourning

Just a few minutes ago, I was told about a sad news in the family. My uncle on my mom's side died from diabetic complications at the age of 60. My mom called me on the phone and relayed to me the bad news in between sobs. He'd been suffering from diabetes and its complications for a while now. He'd been hospitalized for a month but the doctor told them there's really nothing else they can do about it anymore since the illness brought complications to vital parts of his body. He went home 2 weeks ago but he didn't get any better until he succumbed to his illness midnight Philippine time. Death is always a sad part of life. We know we couldn't escape death, it happens to everybody. But when your family go through it, it always leaves a hole within you. I hope my mom is gonna be okay. I know she's hurting, I just hope nothing bad happens to her because of this loss. May my uncle's soul rest in eternal peace!

I am so sorry to hear about the sad news atte Jhen... I've been there and both my grandparents are now gone, and I never got to see them for the very last time. Even until now I still find myself crying and missing both of them. I love them and may they rest in peace. And so as your uncle! God Bless!
