the circle of life

Tuesday, December 27th, 2005

My uncle died last week. thankfully, he did not suffer that long.  He had been having trouble breathing and taking in food because of a tumor that has grown in his throat.  The doctors said it was lymphoma or something like that, a terminal case. Brought about by years of smoking and unhealthy living.  In the end, he had to rely on a respirator, and a tube that delivered food to his stomach.  And after two week, his system (or his will) finally gave up. And he was gone.
