'I battle gravity'
Yesterday morning I received the sad news that my father's older/last remaining brother had passed away that day. He'd been ill for some time following surgeries and chemo at age 91.
Last night, Mom called to say my father had also passed away at age 87. Pop had also been in failing health but fortunately we'd all been out to Arizona last month to see them and meet with hospice. Unfortunately, my uncle was not up to having visitors at the time so we weren't able to see him.
We lost the last two remaining Dads/Uncles on the same day but there is a small grace in knowing that they left together.
My cousins and I have now become our grandparents.
