R.I.P. Uncle

I was gonna post something else but I think this is more important. Didn't have a great day but whatever. That's life. Found out uncle (auntie 9's husband) passed away, I'm not too close to him but I have seen him a bit when I was a little kid. I remembered my aunt and cousin (once with uncle?) would come over to Vancouver from Toronto every year or so. My aunt would always buy us toys every time she comes over (I'm still using that "The Cat" coin purse from her). Oh, I think my cousin liked me back then, he would always bother me and he almost pulled down my pants one time... From what I remembered and what I've heard, my uncle is super talkative to the point where he won't stop talking. People probably get annoyed by him. I remembered going to Banff with them as well. After few years they just stopped coming, not sure why, maybe it was getting boring in Vancouver? I've always wanted to visit Toronto and stay over at their place but I guess that is impossible now.

My aunt passed away 1 or 2 years ago because of cancer? Don't quite remember. It's probably a relief for her, she was just going through so many different types of cancer, so much pain, even listening to stories about it hurts deeply. Why do people have to go through so much pain? My mom told me that uncle said to my aunt at the hospital, I will join you. My aunt said no, you have to watch our son (and the dog). I was hoping both of them can at least watch my cousin get married and have kids before they leave...it's just sad. Uncle really love my aunt, he said she has been taking care of him forever and now she is gone. He always wanted to leave this world to be with her. I really like my parents generation, most couple are so true to each other, not like nowadays. I would be more than happy to find someone like that too.

I guess he tried his best to stay in this world to take care of my cousin (and the dog). Not too sure what happened to Uncle but I heard he wasn't feeling well few days ago then he went for surgery and now he is gone... Uncle had lots of health issues too (maybe it's a relief for him as well?) plus his love sickness. Well, he is in a better place now with my aunt. Hopefully there is such a thing as reuniting after death.

Now, my cousin is left alone (well, I guess my aunt and uncle are watching him from above). He is in his early 30's, I think he will do fine. If he needs anything, we will try our best to help.

Human are just so fragile, they were fine and all of a sudden they are gone... Why is there such a thing as death? Why do you have to create us and then take us away? Why?

I haven't teared for awhile, I thought I wouldn't tear.
