inevitable sadness

i just received the news about my (how am i suppose to relate to him?) my "uncle". he is going to undergo prostectomy maybe tomorrow.

long before, they said he already had neoplasia in his bones and it has now, sad to say, distributed in his system. the physician said that prostectomy is for the longevity of his existence for 5-15 years more.

he just celebrated his birthday today and i wasn't able to attend it because of some errands here at home.

it really took me a long time to make the thought sink in my mind. i have anticipated that such thing would happen but not this soon. he has been a good uncle after all, despite of his chronic vices that are inevitable to cause his current illness.

other personal issues are affecting him such as the lot for sale, some family issues, and the like. i hope they will settle it down soon because, they may not notice it, he is greatly affected with it (if you know the story). my lola and the rest of his siblings are concern to his current condition.

i just pray that the operation will be successful and hope that it would make him live longer!
