Humbled...

Been a while since I posted... just had a lot of stuff happening all at once.

I just got back from visiting my Uncle out in Boston which was a humbling experience for me. To sit and talk to someone who has been given an approxiamte due date for how many days you have left is sad beyond words.

About 3 months ago he was diagnosed with level 3B lung cancer which in plain english means he has the second highest stage of cancer which is in both of his lungs. Hes been a smoker for about 50 years.... not going to get into anti smoking campagins but I'm glad I quit.... not fucking worth it.

Ive known him all my life and in these short 5 days that I was there I'll neer forget the good talks we had. Hes always been a caring person for his family and never let anyone down when they needed him. He should be done his chemo/radiation treatments this week and if the docotors tell him he can leave the country for a bit hes going to go to Italy with my dad which is cool considering he hasnt been back there in about 40 years and hes got a brother out there.

Anyshit Im glad but Im really glad that I got to see him but I'm really bummed out. Just sorta reminds me that I got to keep livin my life like everyday was the last..... funny thing is I dont know if I am.
