I just arrived over here at my dad's house to stay a week like I always do, and as I was unpacking my laundry to do, and my dad comes in and says, "Bad timing..." and I stared at him blankly, confused. Then he says, "Uncle Gene is dying...I'm goin' back to Arkansas tomorrow..." Apparently good ol' Gene has a staff infection around his heart now and different organs are starting to give up. He says he's not ready to die, so he's not gonna' go without a fight... but they honestly don't know how long he's got... a couple of months, weeks... days? I'm supposed to fly up to Arkansas this Thanksgiving with my mom and I told her I wanted to go see him and my grandma...I hope he's still tickin' by then so I can see him again....
I guess I just wanted to share, maybe get a hug or prayer or two...
It really ruined my day... :wah:
