MTP - all fingers crossed for your sister. At least she's getting medical attention. Here's hoping it's something which will pass quickly.
My Great Uncle John died last night. Grandad's second sibling in the last two years, and the baby of the family. The five of them seemed to have charmed lives until Auntie Alice died - they were all in their eighties and all compos mentis.
Of course no-one lives forever, but the Doyles were giving the impression of immunity for a while.
We didn't really know John - not like Auntie Alice, who was very much close family - but I feel it for Grandad.
I have to break the news to Mum when she comes home. Again, I know it will hit her mostly because she'll have to tell her dad. And she leaves for Spain for five days on Saturday. I'll have to make sure to visit him every day, instead of the usual every other day.
