I woke up this morning with yet another migraine and the beginnings of a head/chest cold. I was pushing quite a bit, hoping to ditch the migraine, getting on with a productive day. It took much of the morning to calm the migraine.

Not long after I 'd eaten lunch, my aunt had called. My uncle has been suffering with dementia and has been in a nursing home for approx. a year. He has been in the ICU of the local city hospital for 3 days now. Pneumonia. He was taken off life support this afternoon. He has always been such a FUN (and a safe) person and is my favorite uncle. I am relieved he will suffer no more.

My aunt and my cousins are there with my uncle and expect he would pass soon. It will take me quite awhile travel to their town. My aunt has reassured me that they would likey be gone from the hospital before I could get there.

I am quite sure I can expect company soon. Very soon. While I will be happy to see everyone, I am tired right now. Lots of stress. I know my sister and her partner will help tremendously, which is reassuring. I have to trust all will work out just fine. I cannot get into "worrying" or being frantic, it takes too much energy!

Have you found something to celebrate today?
I am celebrating my relationship with my favorite uncle. He lives in my heart. I am glad he is now "free!"

Love to ALL!
