Good morning Ladies, I come to you this morning with a hole in my heart . On Tuesday of this week I got a call from my sister that my dear uncle Peter had passed away into eternal life. He was diagnosed with dementia earlier in the year and then from July started going downhill quickly . He was staying at home until 6 weeks ago and then had to go into a nursing home. It was tough on the family, his wife and 3 kids , as towards the end he did not know them. At the weekend they gave him Morphine and he was administered the last rites as is custom in our Church to prepare us for the afterlife with God. He was a man of deep faith, an inspiration to all who knew him . He would do anything for you if you were in need . He was a great handyman and could do anything in the home from plumbing to electrical carpentry. He also loved working on cars. May he rest in peace , in the presence of God.
last Sunday was a relaxing day . After working pretty hard on Saturday we all took it easy. Our son had a friend stay over after celebrating his birthday the night before by going bowling. They were awake late but its ok once in a while ! We watched some football also. Monday was back to routine . Tuesday towards the end of the work day I got the sad news of my Uncle passing. I had to go to a dental appointment at 6pm that evening still. My dental hygenist Claudia was very compassionate on hearing my sad news. We had a good chat as she did her work( well you can guess she did most of the talking and it was lovely hearing her stories about loved ones she lost) On Wednesday our youngest got new glasses as his prescription changed , for the better I am happy to say. He has cool blue and yellow frames! The kids also had church class that night.
Thursday night I was able to relax and reflect on things. Sometimes the tears would flow out of nowhere when I would think about my Uncle. I am an emotional person at the best of times, shedding tears at a sad movie so you can imagine me when a loved one passes! Friday morning we got our first snow ! It started to form on the grass and roofs but as the day went on it dissappeared. Last night we went out to eat at a local restaurant. This morning I was able to watch the funeral on live stream as I was not able to attend. It was a beautiful Mass of sending to eternal life.
