Lost
My uncle died yesterday. I found out last night and am reeling about it.
The funeral is probably going to be on Monday and I don't think I'm going to be able to go because its in Vegas and I'm broke and in Texas... I wish I could drive but that doesn't look like an option either, especially with gas prices the way they are. It would probably be cheaper to fly.
He had cancer, the same cancer that took my grandma on my dad's side. One of my aunts on my dad side has also recently been diagnosed with colon cancer. So yeah, there's another thing for me to be afraid of in my life.
My dad said he'd only known about it since Friday, and pancreatic cancer can be really fast and deadly, so I don't know if there was a lot of time to let everyone know.
I love feeling completely helpless when things like this happen.

Aww Marls,
I'm so sorry to hear about your uncle... But, don't beat yourself up over feelin' helpless... Mourning your family's loss is one thing, but don't blame yourself for uncontrollable conditions... If it's meant for you to be there, you'll find a way... I believe that...
And, you shouldn't live your life in fear Marls... All that does is kill your Ambitions, Drive, and Love for Life... Since the last time I saw you, you have accomplished a lot... And, I believe you have a whole lot more to do... I refuse to accept that your lot in life is to live in fear and sadness, and so should you... You deserve better than that...
Sorry for Blabbin' so much, I know you'll be alright... Call if you need to talk...
Tony

Thanks Tony. I appreciate you, a lot.
I've just been more concerned about my health lately, and cancer seems to run rampant on both sides of my family...
I won't let it run my life, but I'm more concerned about things like that now. Another part of growing up and growing old I guess. :)
