A phone call changed our lives forever, the most dreaded call I think for mom and her 7 siblings and their families. We were in the weekend mode on March2nd 2012 when we received THE call that Uncle Frank was taken to the hospital and was no more in person amongst us - needless to say mom and her sisters left immdly to be with uncle's wife and kids at that moment of grief and sorrow. and to say I am happy that I didn't reason, or be practical etc abt mum leaving alone with all her ailments because the very evening Rohan (bro) made me realize whtever it is wherever u are how painful the feeling of missing ur bro or sis d one u grew up with.... (he said he loves me and feels my absence the most when m away from home even for a day... my collars up brought a blush on my face)
Like I said nothing will be the same for us ever again,not only for Uncles wife and kids, but for the entire family or for that matter me. The last time I met him in Jan (just 4 a few hours) changed me as a person. I now know that when you are fighting for survival, everything takes a backseat. Be it hygiene, your comfort or so many other "essentials" - We fought and lost the battle !!
Love you uncle, wherever you are !!
