Hurting

Hopefully this is the last time that I have to enter a post about death for a very, very long time. And again, I am not sure what to say because words can't do the hurt justice, but my uncle passed away early Wednesday morning. I have posted about my uncle and his illness maybe only twice, but just like my grandma it has consumed my thoughts constantly. Having to take care of Joseph and now this pregnancy have kept me distracted. Even though his death was not unexpected, we all still maintained HOPE that he would receive a liver and be the old Uncle Mel we all knew. Even me, I still had hope until the last hour before his death. I don't know what else to say, except "no one ever had a bad memory about Mel Hughes"- David Connor
