RIP Uncle Ron

by deadheaduk @ Monday, 15. Jan, 2007 - 23:13:26

I just found out today that my mum's brother died on November 7th aged 77. My Dad found out just before Christmas after he had sent them a Christmas card.

I don't think I'd seen him for over 10 years. The last time I remember seeing him was at my Nans funeral at the end of 1990. My mum and her mum both died that year and after that I lost contact with that side of my family - in fact the only contact I've had was on here a few weeks ago from a cousin.

My uncle died of throat cancer joining his two sisters who also died of cancer. The last sister lived in Luton and I haven't seen her since the late 80's - don't even know if she is still alive.

Families eh?

Yep, families indeed, I've lost count how many times I've said "We'll have to see each other more often" when talking to relatives at the funeral of another relative and then not seeing them again until the next one. Sad really.:(
