This has been a really sad day. My dad told me that one of my uncles will most likely be dead by nightfall. See, 11 years ago, he had a heart transplant. The heart he was given had Hepatitis C (or one of those, the one that is deadly), and at the time it wasn't really a big deal. The doctor told him that he could either take the heart and live for the amount of time they predicted (10 years) or not take it. And at the time his daughter (my cousin) was only 4 years old, and one of his goals was to see her graduate high school. Well, now that heart he was given had been failing him... he has been in the hospital for awhile waiting for a heart... they found one, and he had a second transplant... he started losing blood, but they resolved that... and then his liver wasn't working properly.. he's such a strong man for holding on this long. It's just really sad because he is such a great guy, and so cool. He is the type who gives of himself to others, very selfless. I am really going to miss him. He is so kind and caring and always has such a positive attitude, despite everything that is going on. My dad's supposed to call me if he dies tonight.. and I'm planning on going to the funeral, whenever it is. (So if I'm gone for a couple days, that's where I'll be)

I don't like sad topics... I never know what to say.
Well, I'm sad about your uncle, but from the sound of it he wouldn't want you to get too miserable. Remember the good things instead of mourning the loss.

thank you all for your concern yeah, I know it's hard to know what to say on sad topics, I sometimes have trouble as well... but what you guys said helped update on my uncle, last I heard, his liver was improving, so they didn't "pull the plug" on him That's all I have heard, I need to give my mom a call tomorrow and see if she's heard anything else... but maybe this means that he will survive with no complications (I'm hoping)!!

well...he's taken another turn for the worse. My aunt is having to decide again when to turn the machines off. She said she'd need a couple days. My uncle is so strong though for holding on this long, I know he wants to survive, but his body is just not allowing it But anyways, just letting you all know that I may be gone next week or this weekend at the earliest, depending on whenever the funeral is because there's nothing that would stop me from going...

thanks alicia... well.. my uncle just died this morning around 2am. I'm not sure when the funeral will be but they're thinking Saturday. I'm gonna go ahead and leave to drive to my mom's house in Oklahoma today so we can get on the road to Arkansas tomorrow, in case the funeral is indeed Saturday. So I will be gone from here for the next few days. I may be able to get online tonight, via my mom's computer.

Hey honey I"m glad you got to your mom's house.
On the bright side you will get to see parts of your family that you have't seen in a while.
