Just need to vent. I guess I am pondering an obit.
Unc was completely irreverent, reckless, and playerlistic. Vietnam vet who would tell us crazy war stories when we were 9 and 10.
Had his ups and downs. Most recently been very sick for way over a decade. On oxygen, but between the big machine at the crib and the little portable joint, been able to still get around. In wheelchairs, Wal Mart scooters and walkers mostly the past couple years.
Got the call from the ICU at 7am. Called in work. Been informing people throughout the day. Went to the Wal Mart grocery store we go to at the same time every week. Where the employees ask me about him EVERY time they see me. Had to tell one lady what happened just cause I knew she was about to ask me about him.
Usually it goes like "Where yo daddy at?" He be in the scooter somewhere a few ailes over. I correct them "That's my Uncle"...
But today I ain't even let her ask me before I ran it down. Guess that's some kinda weird mourning. Just blurted out. I prolly won't be able to shop there no more.
I'm gonna go at least one more time on our regular day, Wednesday and just let them know. Unc didn't get out much and he enjoyed that weekly run.
