We had a very nice morning. We attended the area Alzheimer's Association walk with our very dear friend "Uncle Nick" whose father passed away from this horrible disease. It could not have been a more beautiful morning for the walk, and it was so nice being able to spend time visiting as well!
We had just left and were on our way home when my phone cell rang. I was completely unprepared for the words from my mother. My father's boss/dear friend (also my former boss) had passed away suddenly this morning. While we knew he had just been diagnosed with cancer this week, many indications were good and just this past Thursday had been full of good news for him. It just wasn't meant to be though, and his kidneys began to fail from the chemo treatment. He faded quickly overnight and passed this morning, surrounded by many family members.
I just can't believe we are going to bury this man who has been such a huge part of my life for over 30 years...especially as my own father is so ill. On that front, Dad is very upset, and I know that isn't good for him either. I just can't wrap my head around this...it wasn't supposed to be this way.
