Related: About this forumMy uncle died this evening.
I don't know why I'm posting this except that he was a truly good man and the last of my grandmother's eight children. He lived a good and long life and I will miss him.

(8,666 posts)I don't know why I'm crying. I am usually very pragmatic about death. He called me LoLo.

I must honor him by celebrating his life not mourning his death.
