Just got a call from my son. My favorite nephew passed away today. It was not unexpected, since he had been in the hospital for a week or so with acute kidney/liver failure. He was only 50. He leaves behind two fine young sons. Not sure why I feel the need to share this, but I do. May he rest in peace.
So sorry to hear this, and even when expected, a death of a loved one is always still heartbreaking. Prayers for you and your family, @Hoot Crawford
I'm sorry for this. My condolences. I've lost all of my aunts and uncles, and 3 siblings, as well as my favorite nephew some years ago. Its tough to bear, but comes to us all.
I'm sorry for your loss, Hoot. 50 is way too young. And his kids are too young to be losing their father.
