I have a lot of uncles (some by blood, some by marriage) but my uncle Paul is the one I had the strogest relationship with. I remember Sunday dinners at my aunt and uncles house. Always plenty of food and dessert, the table just full of family. Whenever I would sit next to my uncle Paul I would get the gentle squeeze of his hand during grace.
He is the type of person who has an extremely hearty laugh.. you know the kind that comes directly from the gut? ya that is the infectious laugh he had and I will never forget it.
Seeing my uncle laying in the hospital bed, so helpless was just heart breaking. I visited him a few times and just sat and held his hand, stroked his arm and cried. My last memory of him will be kissing him on the forehead, giving him a gentle hug while I said my good-byes and feeling his hand touch my back..
I love you uncle Paul <3

oh man :(
I know what you're going through. My aunt passed from cancer, and it's just awful.
((hugs))
So sorry you are going through this. ((HUGS))
A beautiful goodbye! *HUGS*
Jennifer, I know how heartbreaking this is. We lost my father-in-law in 2010 to cancer. It was terrible to see him at the ends and feel like there was no chance of recovery.
If we can cure cancer in our lifetimes, we will have conquered a giant.
