Uncle Ted

Uncle Ted passed away at 2:45 this morning. He became non-responsive yesterday evening and died very peacefully just 10 hours later. He was never gasping for breath, but instead his breathing just got shallower and slower until he quit.


I was sleeping downstairs in the boys' room and didn't hear a thing. Except the phone ringing at 3,5 and 6am. I kinda thought something was up. When I got up, I came upstairs and I didn't hear the oxygen thing. I walked past the room and it was empty.

To be honest, I'm glad I wasn't awake to witness it all. Especially when the funeral home came.... I don't know why. Maybe it's just in my head.

As of right now, I think the visitation is Sunday and the funeral Monday.

It's gonna be a tiring and emotional few days....



......But, I do get to see Kate. :)

I love you, Wend. You handled it all better than I would.
Through all of this I've grown to appreciate our close family even more than I already do. We have a SPECIAL family! :)
