    A couple of hours ago when I got home from shopping the telephone rang my son answered it he said, "mom, Aunt Mary just called and Uncle Richard just passed away", I was just devasted. It isn't sinking in. My mind isn't somewhere else.

    I believe I mentioned about him in a post a few days ago that he was just diagnosed with Pulmanary Fibrosis, I am in total shock, as the doctor told him he had about one to three years to live. I can't believe it.

    What an emptiness I feel right now. He had just got himself a brand new electric wheel chair and told his sister Mary that he was having blast on it yesterday . I can't believe it. it is not real to me. it is Christmas it isn't suppose to happen. I can't believe it .

    Dear OFC:

    My condolences to you and your family.

    You're right - it just doesn't sink in. I lost a dear old friend recently who had left something for me on her table. She died before I was able to pick it up. Such a shock when her family called and told me that she had died and about the "gift."

    I still expect subconsciously to drop by and see her, thanking her for all she's done for me ...

    Love,

    CoCo
