Uncle Gary

Tuesday started of wonderfully. Michael called me and we were able to talk for quite along time. Well, at least long for what we are used too. Any way, later on in the day Casey called me. He sounded really down and I could tell something was wrong. I was afraid he was calling to tell me that Mawmaw Nannie had passed away. Instead he told me that Uncle Gary had died. I couldn't believe it. I mean he hadn't been feeling bad or sick. Casey said that Aunt Genie was home with him an that he had had a heart attack while he was out working in the barn. See he had Dairy cows and worked really hard with them. I just can't believe it. I mean the first time we took Gabriel fishing was out to Uncle Gary's. We always went out there to fish. We would of course stop and talk for a little bit when we went. I was so looking forward to taking Lydia out there for her first time fishing this summer and to see Gary and Genie. Especially since Michael will be home too. The sad thing is Michael doesn't know. I tried to call the red cross to see if they would get the message to him but they said no. Pretty much has to be parent, wife, or child only. I think that is stupid. I mean I wasn't asking for him to come home just tell him what happened. Especially since this was so sudden. Well I need to go. I'm hoping Michael calls so I can tell him before the layout which I have a feeling will be Friday or Saturday. I still haven't heard anything yet. I'll write more later. Oh yes, only 15 more days to go before Michael is finally home, yeah!
