Got an email from my cousin today
Find a Conversation

I had emailed her yesterday by my dads request. Dad wanted to call his sister who is now in a nursing home, but he wanted her phone number and address, so asked if I could email my cousin and ask her for the info.
Anyhow I got an email back with the info I needed but also a very short note to say that her brother died. She said on the 23rd she got a call from the police that he was found dead in his home, and had aparently passed a couple weeks before. He was 70 years old. My cousin and my aunt had talked to him at the end of April but had not heard back from him since then.
So anyhow I hcd to call my dad and let him know. He said that although his side of the family was never real close in contact he had such a warm spot for his nephew (who was named after him). I hate being the barer of such bad news, seems I have had to do that a few times lately to him.
Sad but for me I never really never got to know him much, I remember meeting him when I was a kid and then when my Mom passed I called to get his moms new phone number, but other than that there was no contact.
Think I might go see my dad in a week or so, depending on if I get my house finished. I would like to spend a couple days with him, he gets lonely sometimes and hates to admit it but you can tell by his voice on the phone. Am thinking I would like to take a week off work and go and spend time between his place and my dds place, as my dsil is heading off to work and will be away all summer long. She will need company then.
Well better go I am at work, and this is not what I get paid to do...LOL
Hugs,
