We are back on another lovely Monday and ready to delve into the question of the week. Here we go!
Question 6.) Have any of your family members died yet? If so, what do remember of their death and what were the circumstances of their death?
Aside from my dear Minnie (the link to her post is here) I have only had my great grandparents and a few estranged family members pass. There is, however, one member of my family whose death was rather shocking and sad to the majority of my mother's family. My Uncle Sammy.
Uncle Sammy was my Gran's brother (my mother's mother) and he had a rather troubled life in his later years. He actually survived a point blank shot to the head once and didn't even realize he had been shot until a few hours later.
His death was rather tragic. My Uncle Sammy was a notorious drinker but he usually got up most mornings to go to the local diner with his father (my great grand father.) One morning, my Granddaddy Paul went to pick him up but he didn't seem to be home. Thinking nothing of it, he simply went on to the diner. It was rather foggy that morning and my Granddaddy hit a large BUMP! in the middle of the road. That BUMP! was my Uncle Sammy, his son.
The autopsy later showed that Uncle Sammy had been deceased for sometime before my Granddaddy arrived. Everyone thinks this was just a horrendous hit-and-run incident. But my Granddaddy never got over the loss of his son.
I know that I will have to face the loss of my own family and loved ones someday, but I have seen first hand how devastating that can be. I'm in no rush.
Feel free to share any stories about family or friends you have lost in the comments below.
Until next time,
