of course you cry...buckets and buckets of tears...but if they prefer to remember you smiling and being warm and witty and funny, that's a great gift to give...especially if they have asked for you to be strong...and respecting that wish does not mean you are empty of anything...it means you can be selfless at a time it's needed

and you always cry...huge heartbreaking teardrops

reading this thread makes me cry.... i just
teared up again reading the most recent posts [img]frown.gif[/img]

but you know, you're right... i imagine that when
i see him, i'll just burst into tears at the
moment we all meet... yanno, like one of those
gay hollywood things.

he or his wife will say, "why are you crying?"

and i'll just shrug and say, "i dunno"

and they will know... and then he will try to
make me laugh... and all will be 'ok'.

uncle william's cancer seemed to come out of
nowhere for me as well. he had battled with
strange and sudden illnesses for a while though...
but nothing like this.

from what i know, it just showed up around january
and its been swiftly falling downhill ever since.

I HATE THAT SHIT!!!!!!!! i really do....
because even now i can't even really grasp the
situation... there's no time.... and everything
seems to immediate and pressing....

appetitive and on the fly....

i'm sorry if this thread brought up memories
for anyone, present or silent... of someone
they had truly loved and are now gone.

but i can honestly say that i'm so very grateful
for bringing it here and for the posts that you
have all made... because it feels so supportive
and thats what i need... (sorry, that sounded
selfish)

it means so much
thank you
