Tragedy

Losing a loved-one is always a hard thing to get over, especially when the death was unexpecting! Last week my uncle passed. It was such a shock to our family. The day before he died, we all went to the hospital to see him, but we didn't expect him to die the next day. We went into the emergency room, and he smiled as we walked through the door. We spoke and he gave each of us a firm hand shake. He was breathing 96% on his own, and the other 4% with the help of an oxygen tank. My other uncle prayed for him, and he began to cry. We left the hospital and went back home in high spirits. The next morning, the doctor called us saying that he had passed. This was such a shock. I guess the moral of this story would be to cherish life. You never know how long you are going to be here, so make the most of it while you are here!
