Life just kinda sucks sometimes
My uncle in Israel died this morning.
In the span of 3.5 months, my grandmother lost her husband and son.
In the span of 9 months, my mother lost her father, brother, and two very close friends.
Life just kinda sucks sometimes.
My uncle had diabetes for a long time. He was notorious for never taking care of himself. Last year, he had a stroke that paralyzed half of his body. Even after that, he still ate foods he shouldn't have and just a month ago, had to have one of his legs amputated. My mom left two weeks ago to visit him and is actually on a plane back to NY now, that is scheduled to land at 5pm in Newark. When she left he was ok. She still doesn't know that she's booked on a 9pm flight out of JFK with my aunt to return to Israel for her brother's funeral.

Elanit, I am so sorry to hear the sad news of your uncle's passing. Yes, life definitely sucks sometimes... and hopefully, those are the times when we can find comfort and support in our family and friends. My thoughts are with you and your family, and please, let me know if there's anything you need, anything that I can do to help. Big hug...
