my cousin died today, non covid19 [View all]

he'd been in decline the past year and went into hospice this past weekend,
at the end was on hourly morphine dose so i know he was not in pain at the end.
we were the same age, same middle sons of 2 brothers, our dads..
my uncle, his father has passed, my dad (96yo) still alive...
i spent childhood playing with him and all brothers most summers, the usual
growing apart through teenage and adult years.. and miles
i remember him as affectionate, easy going, into nature, and not a malicious bone in his body... by his own admission having made some bad choices in his life that led to his early end i suppose ..

this seemed the only place i should say RIP Cuz, i'm glad you are out of pain ...
we may have been politically 180, but you were a kind soul

see ya on the other side 🙏🏻
