My uncle, a vet, just died on Friday.
God bless our vets! There is a special place in heaven for them.
Indeed there is...we lose more and more vets each and every day....all of my uncles are now gone, my dad is gone, my husbands uncles are gone, his dad is gone, and just this one uncle remains...but hes a pistol, we hope he reaches 100...hes so full of life...we were worried about him after his wife died about 2 yrs ago, he took it so hard...they had no children, so the aunt and uncle spent their life wrapped up with each other...so when she died, we were really worried...he did go through a really bad time, but now he is fine...
My husband, with his father gone, and his uncle, with no children, have a very special bond...my husband and his uncle regard themselves now, as father and son...and we take a very active interest in all that interests him..so with him being in Clearwater, we got some really interesting first hand reports of what was going on down there, with Terri Shiavo...
And of course, we always have to warn the uncle not to wind up in a nursing home down in Clearwater, because there are roving bands of crazed doctors in those nursing homes ready to kill them...that always gives the uncle a chuckle...all the fear mongering on these threads is good for a laugh, anyway...
