As the title suggests, one of my uncles (second uncle to be precise) passed away. He was old, had been very ill the last couple of years and ended up with alzhiemers, he was put in a care home not long after christmas last year so he could be looked after. Died of a heart attack a couple of days a go. Only slightly affected to be honest as I'd rarely seen him since he'd lived far away. In fact, the last time I saw him my brother didn't even exist and his 11 now so it must have been a long time a go. Doesn't make it any less tragic though but it's my aunt I really feel sorry for, she'd lost her husband 5 years a go, lost her sister (my nan) 3 years a go and now she's lost her brother and she doesn't have much family left now This makes the fourth death in our family in the last few years. Two of which were this year. In fact theres been quite a lot of deaths this year, not just from my fam but theres also some friends of the family who have died this year and theres also been a high amount of well-known celebrities who have died this year (most notabley, Micheal Jackson). The death toll this year has definately been high, let's hope we don't hear of any more deaths before the end of the year.
