I just called a friend to give her condolences. She lost her only sibling to cancer.They knew the end was coming, but they thought he had a few more months. To say her family is distraught does not suffice. How can you take solace in anything when you lose your only son/ brother/husband? How do you get on with life when you lose part of yourself?? I did not know what to say to her. I had rehearsed a few lines. But I did not need to say anything, she was just glad that she had her friends to talk to. At such times we need to pray for the family left behind.
He was a brave guy. And like his little nephew said, Uncle A is a star now.
